The Lions Club will deliver the eyeglasses to New Eyes for the Needy, a non-profit, non-sectarian volunteer organization, in Short Hills, New Jersey. The glasses are sorted and prepared for distribution by hundreds of adult and student volunteers and then distributed free of charge to several hundred thousand poor and underprivileged people in developing countries around the world. New Eyes for The Needy also purchases new eyeglasses for children and adults in the United States and distributes them in partnership with social service agencies and optical dispensers across the country.
