The Lions Club collects used eyeglasses for areas in the world where glasses are an unheard-of luxury. Cases are not needed.

The Lions have the glasses polished and shipped to optical missions around the world. The glasses are spread out, and people try on the glasses until they find a pair that fits or helps.

Used glasses can be dropped off in the box at Whitehall Township Public Library, 3700 Mechanicsville Road, Whitehall, or at Holy Trinity Memorial Lutheran Church, 604 Fourth St., in the small basket in the giving area at the back of the sanctuary or in the basket in the hallway outside the fellowship hall.
