Before you toss your old eyeglasses, think about donating them to the Chelsea Lions Club, which recently installed new collection boxes at both branch offices of Chelsea State Bank.
There are also collection boxes at the Secretary of State location near ACO, Polly’s Country Market and in the waiting room of TLC Eyeglass & Laser, 1600 Commerce Park Dr., Suite 100.
The club recycles approximately 750 eyeglasses per month, according to information from club member Keith Bloomensaat.
The lenses are refurbished and sent to Third World countries for use.
