Giving Back
Every year, hundreds of thousands of glasses are created using manmade materials – and over 4 million pairs of eyeglasses are thrown away every year in America, according to Unite for Sight, an organization that will accept your donated eyeglasses and sunglasses. Donations are shipped straight to Sierra Leone, Africa, where
they are given to people in need. Your glasses will make a difference to someone in need – so visit uniteforsight.org today to find a location where you can drop off your unused glasses. We say to reduce, reuse, and recycle, and think of paper and cans. Why not apply that mantra to all aspects of your life – including your eyewear!
