Lions Clubs
Most of us have glasses with old prescriptions or outdated frames--backups in case the new ones break. But after a few years, we have a basket of old glasses. Give them a new face to sit on by donating them to the Lions Club International, known for its focus on vision care and the eyeglass recycling program. The organization cleans, repairs and sorts the glasses by prescription and distributes them to developing countries.
And don't forget those sunglasses. The group needs those, too. Search http://www.lionsclubs.org for donation locations, or drop them off at any LensCrafters or Goodwill store or American Optometric Association office
