Sight Night® is an annual eyeglasses collection project
organized around Halloween or trick-or-treat in your community.
What is Sight Night?
Sight Night
is a national event sponsored by Give the Gift of
Sight Foundation and Lions Clubs International. Volunteers
from Lions, LensCrafters and other organizations across North
America are asked to canvass their neighborhoods and collect
used eyeglasses during trick-or-treat.
This is a great opportunity to partner with a Leo club, a local
LensCrafters store, Scouts
or other community youth organizations.
What Kinds of Eyeglasses are Needed?
Complete pairs of children's and adult's prescription
eyeglasses and sunglasses are needed, as well as nonprescription
sunglasses. Contact Goodwill, Salvation Army or other organizations
to donate eyeglass cases.
What is Done With the Collected Eyeglasses?
Collected eyeglasses are cleaned, repaired and hand-delivered
during optical missions to developing countries. These missions
are sponsored by Give the Gift of Sight
in partnership with Lions Clubs Internatioanl.
