Eyeglass Project

E-mail Print

Recently, LMV was invited to partner with the Auburn Lions Club on a project called the Folsom Prison Project for the Visually Impaired. Lions International collects eyeglasses in hundreds of intake bins. Next, these eyeglasses are taken to the Folsom prison, where they are repaired, cleaned, and labeled. Finally, LMV takes them to our clinics in Mexico, Southeastern California and Latin America, where villagers can get their eyesight tested and get fitted for a pair of glasses. Thank you to the Auburn Lions for establishing such an effective program!

To become a partner or suggest a project, contact us.

"When you donate to the LMV cause, the fruits of your labor smile back at you," Bob Horvath, pilot
