Now that you have awesome new glasses, what are you going to do with all those old specs?
Whatcha gonna do?!
1) Be a responsible glasses-wearer and keep one pair as a back-up!
2) Bring the rest to Eye Spy!
Eye Spy Optical is sponsoring a campaign to collect used eyeglasses, jewelry, and hearing aids!
The donated glasses and other items will be sent to New Eyes for the Needy, a non-profit volunteer organization whose mission is to improve the vision of poor children, adults and seniors in the United States and throughout the world.
Last year, New Eyes paid for new prescription eyeglasses for 5,945 needy residents of the U.S. In addition, over 200,000 pairs of recycled eyeglasses were sorted, tested and shipped to medical missions and international charitable organizations in 24 developing nations.
For additional information, visit their website at www.neweyesfortheneedy.org. We have a collection box in our store located at 3350 N. Lincoln Ave. in Chicago
We also have collection boxes at the Lakeview YMCA on Marshfield and at Wishbone at Lincoln and School.
……don’t forget!…….
