The Riverside Township Lions Club will sponsor a special collection of used eyeglasses at churches in Riverside and North Riverside on Spectacle Sunday, which will be held Sunday Oct. 27.
Special Lions Club collection boxes will be available for parishioners dropping off their used eyeglasses. The Lions Club will have the eyeglasses refurbished and provide them to people in developing countries who are not be able to afford to purchase new eyeglasses.
Your old eyeglasses can be a precious treasure to someone in need. Helping people with vision problems is one of the Lions Club’s missions.
