Yes, the Lions Club still actively collects eyeglasses through their "Lions Recycle for Sight" program. They accept used prescription glasses, reading glasses, sunglasses, and cases. Donations can be dropped off at the Dimmit County Chamber of Commerce office or to any Lion member.

Give the gift of sight to someone else if you have old glasses that you can't or don't use anymore laying around.
