   Every year, numerous Lions head to Mexico with used eyeglasses from our Eyeglass Recycling Center in Rosholt, donated fire trucks, ambulances and school busses gathered by Lions Clubs around the state, and medical and school supplies such as hospital beds and school desks.  These item are given freely to Lions Clubs in Mexico that distribute them to needy schools, orphanages and cities.  While in Mexico, thousands of used eyeglasses are given out to local residents who probably have never had a pair of glasses in their life.

   Materials taken to Mexico come from donations accumulated throughout the state.  The used glasses are collected by Wisconsin Lions and processed through the Eyeglass Recycling Center located at the Wisconsin Lions Camp in Rosholt.
