Shelbyville Lions Collect Eyeglass
Thoughout The Year
In December, 2012 - About 56 Collected
As of Jan 11, 2013 - 36 Collected
Changing Lives, One Pair at a Time
In just about any dresser drawer, one can find a pair of eyeglasses that are no longer being used. That same pair of eyeglasses can change another person's life.
Lions Recycle for Sight
That's why the International Lions started the Lions Recycle for Sight program. Everyone can help.
Throughout the year, Lions, Leos and other volunteers collect used eyeglasses and deliver them to regional Lions Eyeglass Recycling Centers (LERCs). LERC volunteers clean, sort by prescription strength and package the glasses. Most of the recycled glasses are distributed to people in need in developing countries where they will have the greatest impact.
You can donate unused eyeglasses at the following Shelbyville locations: Busey Bank Lobby, Bogart's Vision Center, Dr. Marcin's Office, the hospital waiting room by the lab, and the doctor's offices lobby in the New Medical Center.
