Donate glasses – Give the gift of sight
Used eyeglasses are a valuable commodity, at least in some parts of the world. Globally, 116 million people suffer from visual impairment – simply because they cannot afford glasses. The non-profit organization "Glasses Worldwide" collects used eyeglasses and donates them to people in need.
You can now donate your used eyeglasses to our libraries and do some good at the same time. By doing so, you not only support people in need, but also help conserve resources.
The collection boxes can be found at the following branches:
Central Library
Huchting
Vahr
Lesum
Vegesack
Gröpelingen
