Become an Eyeglass Collection Site
Help neighbors see clearly—right from your front counter. Host a Lions Club eyeglass collection box at your business, school, church, or office. See existing collection sites.
We provide the box and signage; you provide a small, visible spot. Our volunteers handle pickups and processing, and we’ll add your location to our public map so the community can donate easily.
