Grand Rapids Lions

Thank you who drop off glasses, hearing aids, and used cell phones.

From July 1 to September 30, 2026, our Eyeglass Recycling Center has received 300,500 eyeglasses and distributed 46,855 eyeglasses to 27 missions serving those in need around the world.

To put that in perspective, that timeframe had just 64 business days. When you average it out, that comes to over 4,600 eyeglasses per day being received and over 730 eyeglasses per day being distributed.

Thank you to our dedicated team of staff, volunteers, and supporters who keep our Eyeglass Recycling Center running to serve those in need.

We had the honor to have the Worldwide Wood Turners at our grounds. Turners from England, Canada and from many states in the USA were present. Over 40 lathes were turning. Here are some of the works shown.
