SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. — Lions from the Carson City Nevada Host Lions Club and the Higgins Diggins Lions Club in Grass Valley are launching a multi-faceted community initiative to improve vision care access and expand local service opportunities throughout the South Lake Tahoe and Stateline region.
As part of this effort, Lions will provide free vision screenings at the Community Health Fair on March 28 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Kahle Community Center. The screenings aim to promote early detection and raise awareness about the importance of eye health.
In addition to on-site services, Lions have placed eyeglass recycling boxes at local businesses across the community. Donated glasses are refurbished, prescriptions analyzed, and distributed to individuals in need around the world—turning unused eyewear into life-changing resources.
Locations currently hosting recycling boxes include SaveMart, Tahoe Sports Ltd., Dog Dog Cat Pet Store, Imagine Salon, Boys & Girls Club of South Lake Tahoe, Barton Skilled Nursing Facility, American Legion, and Lake Tahoe Eye Care Optometry…
