Got Glasses? Why should you recycle your glasses? The lack of eyeglasses denies children and adults opportunities for education, employment and a better quality of life. Donate your used glasses, including sunglasses and reading glasses, at the Lions Club collection bucket in the lobby of the Brooklyn Center City Hall, 6301 Shingle Creek Parkway. Volunteer with your local Lions Club. bealion.org
