Eyeglasses Donation: Lions Club

Over the months, I collect unwanted glasses from clients and donate them to the Lions Club. Many people living in low to middle income countries do not have the access they need for basic eye care services or corrective lenses. The Lions Recycle For Sight Program provides a solution for those in need.

One of the easiest ways to drop off your glasses is by taking them to a Walmart. Lions Club International has a partnership with the Walmart Corporation, so you can easily drop off your eyeglasses at any participating Walmart Vision Center. The collection boxes are usually somewhere near the Vision Center entrance. Every month, Walmart will send the collected glasses to the nearest Lions Eyeglass Recycling Center, where the glasses are sorted through and dispatched.

Some of the local Lions Clubs accept eyeglasses donations as well. You can go online and use their club locator to search for one in your area. Just be sure to give them a call and see if their location is accepting donations.

Happy Organizing!
