Eyeglass Recycling

(click on the picture to see the whole crew) Boise Bench Lions hard at work. Envision recyles between 60000 and 70000 pairs of glasses a year. Clubs all over Multiple District covering Southern Idaho and a slice of Eastern Oregon collect used eyeglasses and turn them into Envision. Boise Bench members do the bulk of the packing for the glasses to be shipped out for distribution by Lions Club International, or various missions that travel to foreign countries. Non prescription eyeglasses are distributed locally to public libraries (readers), homeless shelters, local hospitals and other non profits can distribute non prescription sunglasses to their clients
