About New Eyes for the Needy

• New Eyes for the Needy empowers children and adults in the U.S. and overseas with the improved vision they need to pursue a better quality of life for themselves and their communities.
• Since 1932, New Eyes has provided clear vision to over eight million people in the U.S. and throughout the world.
• In the U.S., New Eyes provides prescription eye glasses to those in need through a voucher system, which is funded by donations, grants and from the sales of donated gold, jewelry, giftware and hearing aids. Last year, New Eyes helped 4,362 children and adults to see clearly through its voucher system.
• In developing nations where vision care is limited or non-existent, New Eyes provides reading glasses. Last year, 200 pairs of recycled glasses were distributed through eight medical missions and international charitable organizations to 30 developing nations.

If you would like to donate to this wonderful cause there will be drop off locations designated in each of our two locations. If you have children who attend our local elementary schools please send any donations to school with your child. Our drive will run from Feb. 18 – March 18, 2015. We look forward to working together and thank you for your commitment to this important initiative.
