RECYCLE FOR SIGHT

Lions Clubs International is pleased to announce that it has entered into a collaborative agreement with Walmart to collect used eyeglasses from the public at Walmart and Sam’s Club stores throughout the United States.                                   

Co-branded eyeglass collection boxes, bearing both the LCI and Walmart logos, will be available in the 2,500 Walmart  stores, and 500 Sam’s Clubs, with vision centers, commencing January-February, 2010. These new boxes will replace existing Lions collection boxes currently in place at the specified stores with vision centers.  For Walmart stores and Sam’s Clubs without vision centers, existing Lions eyeglass collections will continue at the discretion of the store manager.

Walmart will ship the collected eyeglasses to their distribution centers, where they will then be delivered to the nearest Lions Eyeglass Recycling Centers for sorting, cleaning and processing.  

Usable glasses will be available for Lions and other optical missions to developing nations, where the glasses will be dispensed to children and adults free of charge.
