Lion Shawn Davis presents a new eyeglass collection box to be located in front of New Milford Town Hall. Shawn Davis designed and built the collection box. Lions, Leos, and other volunteers collect used eyeglasses for donation to Lions Eyeglass Recycling Centers that are located throughout the world. The used eyeglasses are cleaned, repaired and classified by prescription. The eyeglasses are then distributed to those in need by Lion volunteers and other organizations hosting optical missions in developing countries.
