Clearer Futures
Help Someone See the World More Clearly!
Did you know that millions of people around the world suffer from vision impairments simply because they don’t have access to affordable eyeglasses?
At the Burlington Lions Club, we believe that everyone deserves the gift of clear vision. Through our Lions Recycle for Sight program, we collect, clean, and distribute used eyeglasses to people in need – locally and around the world.
🚀 Donate your old eyeglasses today and change someone’s life!

How Your Eyeglasses Make a Difference
Eyeglasses are Collected
We gather gently used prescription glasses, reading glasses, and sunglasses.
They are Cleaned & Sorted
Volunteers inspect and prepare glasses for donation.
They Are Distributed to Those in Need
Partnering with Lions Clubs International and humanitarian groups, we send glasses to communities lacking vision care services.
💡 One pair of eyeglasses could help a child see the board in school, a parent provide for their family, or a senior read their favorite book again.
