The Deacons' are collecting Eye Glasses and Hearing Aids
How many pairs of glasses and/or sunglasses do you have tucked away in drawers? Our Deacons will help you clean out as we collect used glasses, prescription and non-prescription sunglasses, reading glasses and “cheaters”.
All donations will be given to Vision Associates on Rt. 517 who send the donations to the Lions Club to provide free or low cost glasses to those who might not otherwise be able to afford them.
We’re also collecting used hearing aids for the same purpose! Look for the collection bin and thank you for helping us help others!
