Eyeglass Recycling Program
Many people around the world cannot see well because they don’t have glasses. The Sierra Vista Lions Club is helping change that. We collect used eyeglasses, reading glasses, and sunglasses, then recycle and send them to people in need.
You can help, too! Just drop your old glasses into one of our donation boxes.
