HONOLULU (KHON2) Lions clubs worldwidewill be performing community service projects as part of theLions In Sightinitiative to raise public awareness of the vital role Lions clubs play in their communities.

As Spring cleaning gets underway, theHawaii Lionsare asking people to look through dresser drawers and closets for used eyeglasses and hearing aids and donate them to theLions Recycle For Sightprogram.

The glasses will be distributed to those in need within developing countries where eye care is often unaffordable and inaccessible.

The glasses will be cleaned, categorized by prescription and prepared for distribution by Lions, Leos, and other groups. According to the World Health Organization, the eyesight of approximately one-fourth of the worlds population can be improved through the use of a corrective lens.

Hawaii Lions collect eyeglasses year-round and the Lions members will be out in force receiving your unwanted eyewear at Walmart and other locations throughout the state.

You may also place them in specially markedLions Recycle For Sightcollection boxes.Locations are also posted on the website, visithawaiilions.organd click on Eyeglasses.

In addition to the eyeglasses,hearing aidswill be also collected, cleaned and tested for local distribution.

As part of the 11th Annual State-Wide Lions in Sight project, January 25, 2020, the Lions stationed at Kahala Mall from 10:00 a.m. 2:00 pm. will be offering free vision screening between Macys and The Walking Store.
