Donate Your Old Glasses and Hearing Aids
If you no longer need your used glasses, sunglasses or hearing aids, please consider donating them to the Westport Lions Club. We accept hearing aids, prescription eyeglasses (frames with lenses intact), sunglasses and reading glasses. (No lenses without frames or frames without lenses, please.)
Why Donate?
Many emerging countries lack the resources to manufacture quality devices and lenses, and the cost of importing is far beyond the means of the average citizen.
Millions fail to reach their economic, educational, and social potential without access to these quality devices.
How We Help
Individual Lions clubs and districts collect old, unwanted eyeglasses and hearing aids for redistribution to the poor in developing countries. Lions and other volunteers donate travel expenses, time, and talent to dispense these products free of charge to people in need. In some countries, people walk 50 miles just to receive free eyeglasses from the Lions. Your donation can a have a big impact on someone's quality of life.
