Students at Crawford School collected used glasses the month of October for the Lions Club’s Sight Night on Oct. 31. Shown above is the kindergarten class of (back, left) Andrea Howard with Crawford School librarian Marsha Cierpik, school secretary Carla Shreve and Lions Club member Michelle Dutton. Glasses can be donated year round at North Fork Vision Center at 210 East Bridge Street in Hotchkiss.

OneSight and Lions Clubs across the nation collect the glasses for Sight Night. OneSight and Lions Clubs share the mission to provide eye glasses, improving vision for the needy worldwide. They have partnered in this project since 1988.

Eye glasses are cleaned, categorized by prescription and recycled. Prescription and non-prescription glasses, sunglasses, reading glasses and bifocals are accepted. The glasses are then globally distributed by hand to adults and children in developing nations.

Locally, the public can give eye glasses throughout the year at the North Fork Vision Center in Hotchkiss.
