Save your eyeglasses for us

 


Your old pair of glasses can change someone else’s life.
 
Poulsbo Lions collect hundreds of used eyeglasses every year. These glasses are cleaned, graded, and sent to communities where access to vision care is limited or unaffordable.
 
Who do they help?
- Children struggling to learn at school because they can’t see the board.
- Adults whose vision challenges limit their ability to work. 
- Seniors who have lived years with blurry vision simply because glasses are out of reach.
- Remote and under-served communities.
 
Your old glasses don’t belong in a drawer — they can restore independence, improve education, and open doors.
