Collection of Used Eye Glasses
We have been participating in this project for over 40 years. The glasses that are collected are given to a representative of InterVol, a nonprofit organization dedicated to connecting the world’s neediest to materials, people, and opportunities. We also collect hearing aids; basically the ones worn behind the ears.
At the present time we have four drop box locations:
- Irondequoit Town Hall
- Irondequoit Town Library
- Cornerstone Eye Associateson Titus Avenue
- Rochester Ophthalmological Group on Clinton Avenue South
- Vision Works, Hudson-Titus Plaza
- Irondequoit Recreation Center at the Irondequoit Mall
