Gift of Sight Program
Throughout the year, The Woodlands Lions Club helps provide financial assistance for grade school students in South Montgomery County for eye exams and glasses. The exams are paid for by the club and the glasses are donated through Lens Crafters. Thousands of students have been helped with their site through this program. Almost every Lions club participates in a Gift of Sight Program for the schools in their hometown area. The club greatly appreciates the school nurses that identify the children in need, the optometrists that perform the exams at a reduced cost for the clubs, and Lens Crafters.
Eye Glasses - Recycling Program
The Lions are dedicated to assisting individuals with their eye sight. One way we can help people around the world is through donating our used glasses. These glasses are then distributed international to individuals through mission trips. Please consider donating your used eye glasses. Donations sites are all around. One of the sites that The Woodlands Lions Club maintains is at Dr. Bernie Maslovitz's, Optometrist - JC Penny's in The Woodlands Mall.
