Recycle for Sight- Donate Old Glasses at Your Mailbox

Jeepers
Creepers, Lions Club wants your old Peepers!  And the Postal Service is lending a helping hand.

If you have ever
wondered what to do with your old, unneeded eyeglasses, well wonder no more!

On Friday,
September 6, Postal Service letter carriers in San Diego City and County team
up with Lions Clubs International for the 11th Annual Recycle for Sight
eyeglass collection.

By leaving your old,
unneeded eyeglasses, sunglasses, readers or children’s glasses in a plastic bag
at your mailbox, you’ll be helping needy patients around the world who
desperately need corrective or protective lenses. Your donation means many will
experience clear vision for the first time.

So take this
opportunity to recycle the old glasses you've had tucked away in a drawer for
years. Lions Club volunteers will sterilize calibrate and distribute your
donation. If you receive no mail on Friday, your donation will be picked up the
next time your carrier has mail to deliver. Over the past ten years, letter
carriers collected more than 100,000 pair of donated glasses.

Recycle for
Sight is supported by the U.S. Postal Service, the National Association of
Letter Carriers and the National Rural Letter Carriers Association.  

San Diego Lions
Clubs and the U.S. Postal Service say “Thank you.”
