Fairfax Lions collect used eyeglasses and recycle them so they can be given by medical mission teams to people in need around the world.
Across the US, regional Lions Eyeglass Recycling Centers clean, repair, and classify donated glasses. The eyeglasses are then distributed free-of-charge to needy individuals around the world.
It doesn’t take much effort to drop off that old pair of spectacles at your local business or Lions Club. Even if you don’t wear eyeglasses, please encourage others to donate their old eyeglasses. This small gesture can make a world of difference.
Through the generosity of the following businesses and agencies, the Fairfax Lions Club maintains eyeglass collection boxes. Please bring your used eyeglasses to one of these locations and help us in this very worthy project.
