    Doing some good with your spare optical goods

    Hi all,

    I'm new here, great to see such an active community of contributors within the industry - looking forward to connecting with you,

    To kick off my first post here, I thought I'd share one of our latest findings which may be of interest to some of you

    We have recently come across a wonderful UK based charity initiative who offer eyecare support and equipment for homeless people. They work with the donations of optical goods suppliers and eyecare professionals to support those in need. You can see a quick explainer video here and full details of the cause here - http://www.visioncarecharity.org/

    Thought this may be worth sharing, for those in the UK who also end up with spare optical goods.

    Also, I'm sure a lot of you are based in the US from what I've seen so far, does anyone know if there are any similar initiatives in the states?

    Welcome!

    Currently, my company donates to the Lion's Club for redistribution of used frames and lenses. They are tried and true here in the States, but I have heard of the California Care Force on here that is always looking for volunteers.

    Have I told you today how much I hate poly?
