The Freeport Lions
Club blog on October 19, 2016, reported that our club initiated a used
eyeglass collection project at four Freeport Health Network locations with
drop-off bins available from Monday October 17th through Friday, October
28th.
FHN Human Resources
Department, who monitored the event, rewarded used eyeglass donors with a “DENIM
DAY” sticker that allowed them to “dress down” on October 28th and
wear blue jeans to work.
Results: 77 pairs of glasses, 2 loose lenses, $47 in cash donations.
Kimberly Wichman and Len Carter, FHN HR Dept., said they are looking forward to
doing this project again in 2017.
A big “Thank You” to all
FHN employees who participated in this event.
Lions clean and sort used eyeglasses
by prescription, and then distribute them internationally to those who need but
cannot afford/do not have access to prescription eyewear.
