Moraga Lions and Campolindo Leo Club members on Nov. 13 conducted an eyeglass sorting event to prepare used eyeglasses for the final step before the eyeglasses will be shipped to Africa. A total of 8,000 eyeglasses were sorted and packed for delivery to a California State Prison where inmates will clean, determine the prescription and pack for overseas delivery.
A total of 25 people, including Lions, Leos and volunteers were able to complete the sorting event in just over 3 hours at the Moraga Fire House in Rheem.
These eyeglasses will?be added to a total shipment of 75,000 eyeglasses destined for Kenya, Africa, in March 2023.
In the past 12 months, Lions and Leos in Northern California have collected, processed and shipped over 500,000 to third world countries.
