Recycle for Sight

We participate with the Lions Sight and Hearing Foundation by collecting used eyeglasses to be recycled in Arizona and around the world. Arizona Lions have been recycling used eyeglasses for over 20 years.

With the help of the community, our Club processes about 3,000 eye glasses annually. To make a donation, bring any unbrocken used glasses to your nearest collection point:

Arizona National Bank (any Kingman location)
Jims House of Glass
Katherin Heidenreich Adult Center
Powerhouse Visitor Center
Walmart Vision Center
And most local eye care providers

Kingman Lions Club donates funds for KUSD Nurses’ Program December 2009
The Kingman Mohave Lions Club helps realize the needs of many children who could not otherwise afford eye glasses. However, many schools in the Kingman Unified School District have been missing the proper tools for diagnosing a child who may have vision problems. So the club recently provided the nurse’s sight program with funds to close the gap. Sharla Smith, District Nurse, accepted the funds which “will be used for new vision charts for all schools within the Kingman Unified School District.” photo
