Some of you may know that I recently got lasik, so I've been going through my old contact "equipment" and giving away unused solution, cases, etc. Anyway, I can't exactly give away my old glasses to one of my friends, but I know that someone somewhere can use them, which got me to thinking that I should do another drive.
I've picked the Lions Club because they have a long history of fighting blindness and vision impairment. As for the drive, not only do they take regular glasses, but they also take multi-visions (bifocals and trifocals). They even take on-prescription sunglasses! You don't need to know the prescription, and your glasses can be broken or missing the lenses, it doesn't matter. They will use what they can and recycle the rest. They are in special need of children's glasses, so please dig deep in those closets and find them. They will distribute donations both locally and internationally so you know that someone somewhere will be thanking you!
To get your glasses to me, please just email me in the next week or so and I'll come by and pick them up from you. Thanks for your help!
