You can help the Lions serve our community by donating hearing aids, eye glasses and blood.

Used eye glasses can also be dropped off at any optometrist's office, Costco and Fred Meyer stores. Used glasses will then be matched with an individual needing that proscription.

If you need help getting eye exams and glasses, please call 566-1597 to schedule an interview.
