Members of the
Classic City Lions Club place collection boxes for used eyeglasses in
eyeglass clinics and other offices around town. These boxes are checked
periodically and the thousands of eyeglasses collected are transferred
to the Georgia Lions Lighthouse for processing and distribution.
During the first six months of 2016; 700 pairs regular glasses, 100 pairs prescription sun glasses, and 300 pairs
of non-prescription sun glasses were donated.
The Club also collects cell phones and hearing aids; these can be placed in the glass collection boxes. |
