MULTIPLE LEVELS

• Our service unit is collecting donation of unused glasses for Sight Night at its Juliette Gordon Low celebration this month. While all girls can participate, Cadettes, Seniors and Ambassadors who donate frames will receive one (1) service hour (Silver Trefoil service to council hours, or high school community service hours requirements). Please bundle frame donations with a rubber band and your name. This Friday is the only day to give your donations to Sis Kesha.

  Eyewear donations will be given to OneSight, an organization provides ongoing, top-quality vision care to adults and children around the world. While OneSight dispenses 100% new eyewear to patients, they do accept eyewear donations to be responsibly recycled. Donated eyewear is disassembled and sent to a third party recycler that utilizes the raw materials.(https://onesight.org) is an organization that refurbishes broken or old eye glass frames.
