Just some examples Dartmouth Lions Club Projects and events:
Eye Glass Recycling
Our club collects used, unwanted eyeglasses through multiple drop off boxes located throughout the HRM. The eyeglasses are cleaned and graded before being sent to medical missions in developing countries where they are distributed to needy persons by Lions and eye-care workers. If you have any old pairs or eyeglasses lying around your home, please take them to one of our collection boxes and we will recycle them and get them to a person in need. Please help give others the Gift of Sight!
