Recycling

The Lions Eyeglass Recycling Program was adopted as an official service activity of Lions Club International in October 1994.  However, Lions have been recycling eyeglasses for more than 70 years.  The goal of the program is to meet the demand of quality eyeglasses in developing nations.  Currently, it costs less then eight cents to provide someone with recycled eyeglasses.

All types of eyeglasses and sunglasses are acceptable.  Reading glasses are very useful because many recipients are in need of visual correction to help perform close-up-tasks.  Sunglasses are needed for people living near the equator to shield their eyes from the sun's damaging rays.

For more information, contact you local Lions club at: (606) 348-6207.

Eyeglass collection boxes are located in all the local banks, Doctor Sawyer's office and Doctor Hesse's office (Vision Care).

Your help will be greatly appreciated!
