HOUGHTON — The Houghton – Hancock Lions have re-established three used eye glasses donation and recycling collection locations.

The collection boxes are located at the Thrivent Office at 101 Quincy St. in Hancock, Superior National Bank Ridgecrest Plaza Branch in Houghton (behind Applebee’s) and College Avenue Vision Clinic in Houghton.

Vision Clinic Doctors, Ross DuMonthier and Megan Charney, transport the donated glasses to the Ferris State University optical program for evaluation, grading and possible rehabilitation before being recycled. The refurbished glasses are then distributed to needy individuals in impoverished countries.

Anyone having old eye glasses and wondering what to do with them, please consider donating at one of the above collection sites.
