I knew I could donate glasses but had never seen a place for contacts as well. I just had LASIK last week and am now already seeing 20/15 after 20 years of glasses & contacts. I am glad to be able help someone else see as eye care is very expensive. Thank you again Katie! Thank you so much for letting us know where to send our contacts!

I do hope you mail them to a much larger organization such as listed in this post. They have a much stronger distribution opportunity.

Then make sure everyone in the office knows about your project so they'll be sure to participate or get clients excited about joining, too. I think that's an absolutely great idea!
