Our club collects used eyeglasses and donates them to the Lions Recycle For Sight program. We collect used prescription eyeglasses and prescription and non-prescription sunglasses as part of a unique recycling program. The collected glasses will be cleaned and prepared for distribution in developing countries where eye care is often unaffordable and inaccessible. In most developing countries, an eye exam can cost as much as one month’s wages and a single eye doctor may serve a community of hundreds of thousands of people. The donated glasses will be shipped to a regional Lions Eyeglass Recycling Center where they will be cleaned, categorized by prescription and prepared for distribution by Lions and other groups.
To donate used glasses (including sunglasses and reading glasses), place them in the specially marked Lions Recycle For Sight collection boxes located at the following locations:
- Tri-City Property Management (Harker Heights)
- Sam's Club (Harker Heights)
- Harker Heights Elementary School
- Skipcha Elementary School
- Mountain View Elementary School
- Union Grove Middle School
- Eastern Hills Middle School
- Harker Heights High School
