Got old eyeglasses laying around? Prescription changed, frame outdated, etc.. time to put the old glasses back to work with those less fortunate.

Unite for Sight helps take unwanted eyeglasses and sunglasses and distributes them to people in Africa.  They find people with vision needs in the same ballpark as your glasses and gives them away.  Any eyeglass, for most of these folks, is better than no glasses, even if the prescription is not exactly the same.

Lion’s Clubs also recycle eyeglasses. They have donation boxes in Walmart stores and Sam’s Clubs with vision centers.
