Support Specsavers Opticas’ campaign to collect 4,500 pairs of glasses for Lions Clubs International
Specsavers Opticas in Marbella and Fuengirola collaborate closely with their local Lions Clubs
Specsavers Opticas have just one month to reach their target to collect over 4,500 pairs of glasses for the Lions Clubs International. So far they have collected a little over 2,000 pairs, so they need a lot of support from their local community to reach their target.
This collection will change lives in areas where people desperately need access to glasses. After the glasses are donated in store they are sent to the Lions Club’s recycling plant in Alicante where they are first separated into single vision, bifocals, varifocals and sunglasses. They are then graded according to prescription strength, cleaned and boxed for distribution.
Lions Club representatives are located across many developing countries including Africa and India. They test the eyes of locals and send requests for the required prescription glasses onto the fulfilment plant and each pair of glasses will make a huge difference to someone.
There are two Specsavers Opticas stores on the Costa del Sol, in Marbella and Fuengirola, and they are calling on their local communities to get involved so that they can collect as many glasses as possible. There are also collection points at Papelería Elviria, in Calle Blasco Ibañez, Estepona and the monthly Manilva Networking event on 15th April 18.30-20.00 at CIVIMA Manilva Pueblo.
The campaign runs until 29th April 2015, to find your nearest store visit www.specsavers.es. For more information on Lions Clubs International and to find your local branch visit www.lionsclubs.org
