Used Eyeglass & Hearing Aid Collection Locations FORWARD LOCATIONS OR CORRECTIONS TO: PDG Bob Hoofnagle, Chief Operations Officer Minnesota Lions Eyeglass Recycling Center 321 8th Ave S Sauk Rapids, MN 56379 E-mail: [email protected] Phone: (320) 266-1611 Revised: November 2016 Lions Clubs International Used Eyeglass Recycling Program Why Collect Used Eyeglasses? • Globally, one child in four cannot see well enough to learn to read without eyeglasses. • By age 40, 90% of adults experience a decrease in their ability to read print and need eyeglasses. • Many emerging countries lack the resources to manufacture quality lenses, and the cost of importing eyeglasses is far beyond the means of the average citizen. • Millions fail to reach their economic, educational, and social potential without access to quality eyeglasses. • The World Health Organization estimates that the eyesight of one-fourth of the world’s population can be improved through the use of corrective lenses. Unfortunately for many, a pair of glasses is both unaffordable and inaccessible. In developing countries, an eye exam costs as much as one month’s wages, and a single doctor may serve a community of hundreds of thousands of people. What Are the Lions Doing? In the Midwest • The Minnesota Lions have collected more than five million pairs of eyeglasses. • The Minnesota Lions Eyeglass Recycling Center, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization in Sauk Rapids, Minn., collects more than 700,000 pair of used eyeglasses every year. • The Wisconsin Lions Foundation operates a regional facility in Rosholt, Wisconsin, where volunteers clean, repair, and classify the glasses by prescription. The facility distributes about 1 million pairs of glasses each year. Around the World: • For 80 years, individual Lions clubs and districts have collected old, unwanted eyeglasses for redistribution to the poor in developing countries. • Lions and other volunteers go on missions to developing nations, donating travel expenses, time, and talent to carefully and professionally dispense recycled eyeglasses free of charge. Some people in these countries walk 50 miles because they have heard they might receive free eyeglasses from the Lions. • It costs fewer than 8 cents to provide glasses to a person in a developing nation.
