Glasses for students in need

Published

Good morning friends!

I had to clear my cache yesterday due to some technical issues and am struggling to find the Sight for Students info I need. I have a student who needs new glasses and parents get get them right now due to finance struggles. Have I missed some updates on this program?

Thanks for the help!!

I don't know about this program, but my school has a budget for Students in Need and I order glasses for them through http://www.zennioptical.com.

They have lead time of about 10-14 days (and are made in China), but due to the price I can afford to help many more students then I could otherwise.

I don't know about this program either, but our local Lions Club is a valuable resource that pays for eye exams and glasses for our students in need.
