Goodwill Industries International has joined Lions Clubs International in its efforts to collect used eyeglasses. Participating Goodwill outlets will accept and place eyeglass collection containers in their stores.

Goodwill Industries International is a network of 181 local, autonomous member organizations in the United States and Canada, and 45 international associate members in 34 countries. Each organization serves people with disabilities and other needs by providing job training and employment programs.

Lions are encouraged to donate household items and clothing to their local Goodwill store.  For more information, contact the Public Relations Department at (630) 571-5466, ext. 647 or e-mail rfs@lionsclubs.org.
