Why Donate?

Donating your old eyeglasses and sunglasses does more than clear out a drawer—it helps change lives. Your eyewear provides clear vision to individuals in underserved communities who lack access to eye care, opening doors to education, work, and independence. Donations also reduce waste by keeping glasses out of landfills and extending their useful life. One simple donation can make a lasting global impact.

Helping People in Need

• Restores clear vision: Donated eyewear helps people who otherwise have no access to eye care see clearly for the first time.

• Improves quality of life: Clear vision supports education, employment, safety, and independence.

• Creates immediate impact: A single pair of glasses can change someone’s daily life instantly.

Environmental Benefits

• Reduces waste: Donating keeps eyeglasses and sunglasses out of landfills.

• Encourages reuse: Recycled eyewear extends the life of materials that would otherwise go unused.

• Supports sustainability: Reuse lowers the need for new manufacturing and reduces environmental impact.

Community & Global Impact

• Supports underserved communities: Donations help non-profits provide vision care in developing countries and low-resource areas.

• Strengthens mission work: Eyewear donations directly support medical and humanitarian mission trips.

Even Sunglasses Matter
