 Recycle
for Sight Program
We collect used eyeglasses (including reading glasses and sunglasses) and
provide them to children and adults throughout the world. Over the years,
our Club has contributed thousands of glasses, thanks to donations such as
yours.
Glasses can be dropped off at the following locations:
-
Downton IDA Pharmacy:
1106 Concession Street, Russell, (at the pharmacy counter)
-
PharmaChoice Pharmacy:
110 Craig Street, Russell (in the wall box, to the right as you enter)
-
Embrun Eyewear:
685 Notre Dame, Embrun (at the service desk)
-
IDA Compounding Pharmacy:
934 Notre Dame, Embrun (at the box in front of the cash)
-
Embrun Optometry Clinic:
19 Blais Street, Embrun (at the counter)
We also welcome
cleaning cloths, sunglasses, and cases!
Our club collects the used eyeglasses,
sends them from Ottawa to
CLERC (Canadian Lions
Eyeglass Recycling Center) in Calgary, Alberta. Once the glasses
arrive in Calgary, they are passed on to the Calgary Correctional Centre (CCC)
where they are sorted, cleaned, repaired and read for prescriptions.
Shipping boxes of 350 are then made up according to type.
Lions provide funding and oversee the program but also the distribution of
glasses to underprivileged countries.
