Javier Alarcon-Ramos, Fairfax County Health Department
Shauna and Javier told us about providing eye exams and eyeglasses for the needy under a partnership between the County Government, INOVA Lions Eye Clinic, local eyeglass companies, and several local Lions Clubs. The partnership has been in work for a year now with some good results. Fairfax Lions Club has a robust eyeglass program for the needy, and utilizes County resources to assure qualified persons participate. Persons considering this resource should apply thru the County Health Department.
Fairfax Lions Club is one of the largest service organizations in Northern Virginia. Our members are from all walks of life, we give back to our community in many ways, and we have a good time doing it! We welcome you!
