Eye Glasses Collection Program
Lions Clubs the world over recycle eye glasses to provide free or very low cost sight correction for needy people everywhere. Lions Clubs in our District collect more than 25,000 pairs of glasses annually. The lenses are graded and repackaged by optomitrists and then made available to the needy. Most of the glasses that we collect go to locations in Latin America.
In Palo Alto, Mountain View and Los Altos, you can donate your old glasses by bringing them to the following collection places during normal business hours.
