Instead of collecting treats this year during the Hallowe’en season, the Fort Frances High School LEO Club will be collecting eyeglasses for needy people in developing countries.
We’d like you to get involved in this cause by dropping off your old glasses in the marked containers at several drop-off locations, including Gagné Pharmacy, Safeway, and Tim Hortons.
These eyeglasses will be cleaned, repaired, and classified by prescription at Lenscrafters, then sent to the people requiring eyeglasses in Third World countries.
It doesn’t just stop at eyeglasses. All glasses can be used, including sunglasses (prescription or non-prescription). We just ask that the glasses are not dropped off in their cases.
We appreciate the help!
