Eyeglass Recycling Collection Boxes
Over the past two years, the Spotsylvania Lions Club has collected over 5,000 used eyeglasses and sent them to the Eyeglass Recycling Center of Northern Virginia in Falls Church, VA. The eyeglasses collected are cleaned and catalogued by prescription and made available for sight related medical missions in the United States and worldwide. Unused or excess eyeglasses can be delivered and donated to the Spotsylvania Lions Club at any of the 18 eyeglass collections sites listed  on the Eyeglass Recycling Collection Boxes page.
