Changing Lives, One Pair at a Time

In just about any dresser drawer, one can find a pair of eyeglasses that are no longer being used. That same pair of eyeglasses can change another person's life.

Lions Recycle for Sight

That's why Lions Clubs International started the Lions Recycle for Sight program. Everyone can help.

Throughout the year, Schertz-Cibolo Lions club collect used eyeglasses through a network of our Lion members and at a drop box located in the Schertz Area Senior Center located on Schertz Parkway. The glasses are counted and then delivered to our regional facility Texas Lions Eyeglass Recycling Center (TLERC) in Midland, Texas. Where each individual pair of eyeglasses are sorted, cleaned, repaired, tested, packaged and prepared for shipment. Most of the recycled glasses are distributed to people in need in developing countries where they will have the greatest impact.

How You Can Help

If you have used eyeglasses you no longer need, you can donate them by dropping them off at Schertz-Cibolo Lions Club drop box located at the Schertz Area Senior Center @ 608 Schertz Parkway, Schertz, Texas 78154. Lions accept prescription and reading glasses, sunglasses and empty plastic and metal frames. Children's glasses are especially needed.
