Oregon has one of 19 Lions Club eyeglass recycling centers in the world. Glasses are collected from around the state (around 100k each year) and a local foundation, the Oregon Lions Sight & Hearing Foundation, stores the glasses in a warehouse. These glasses are sorted and then those that can be reused on sight mission trips are cleaned, calibrated and packaged up by the ladies in the paraoptimetric program at Coffee Creek Correctional. This event would be an eye glass sorting party and all ages are welcome to attend
This event is open to everyone so bring your family and friends! This is a family-friendly event and children are welcome to help.
