PRINCE WILLIAM COUNTY, Va. -- Members of the Lake Jackson/Mid-County Lions Club recently volunteered their time at the Park West satellite location of the Lions Eyeglass Recycling Center of Northern Virginia (LERCNOVA).
At the Park West location, eyeglasses that are collected from donation boxes located throughout the community, are cleaned and sanitized.The prescription is then read using a lensometer machine. After the glasses are read, they are bagged and sent to the LERCNOVA for distribution to needy individuals around the world.
Since its inception in 1998, the LERCNOVA has sent nearly 1.1 million pairs of eyeglasses to vision impaired people from Belize to Zimbabwe.
