Free for You – Priceless to Them
Donate glasses and change someone's life. Imagine if you could help a child read. An adult succeed in his job. A senior maintain her independence. And provide a community with more opportunities to grow and thrive.
Everyday, our recycled eyeglass programs do all of this and more. Here's how you can donate glasses and help.
Drop Your Eyeglasses in Lions Collection Boxes
You can drop off your old eyewear at Lions-sponsored collection boxes in your community. Typical locations include libraries, schools, community centers, places of worship, coffee shops, optometrist offices and other public locations where communities socialize and get together. For information specific to locations in your community, contact your local Lions club.
Donate Glasses by Mail
You can also package your old eyeglasses and mail them to one of two locations:
- Your nearest Lions Eyeglass Recycling Center
-
Lions Clubs International Headquarters
