There is a wonderful description of what happens to donated eyeglasses, after you donate them, and Lions deliver them to the Lions Eyeglass Recycling Center on Northern VA. Click this link: Journey of a Pair of Eyeglasses

A very generous person had a LOT of surplus eyeglasses to donate for recycling. But that person did not live near this area, where our eyeglass drop-off boxes are. So, they mailed them to our Club! We received the two boxes of eyeglasses, and are taking them to the Lions Eyeglass Recycling Center of Northern VA…the eyeglasses will go to good use, with medical mission teams helping others.

Here is a link to help understand the “Journey of a donated pair of eyeglasses.“
