It has helped many thousands of needy people obtain glasses here and abroad and it lias never asked for a cent in donations. Since its inception, almost 40 years ago, New Eyes lias asked only for used eye glasses and precious metal articles such as old watches, jewelry (real, costume and antique) , good or damaged silver and dentures. The eye glasses and glittering clutter are sent to New Eyes for the Needy, Inc., Short Hills, New Jersey 07078.

They help fill specific orders from missions and hospitals in foreign countries where plastic framed glasses and sun glasses are sent. The metal framed glasses have their uses, too. With refining, they yield precious metals that are sold, along with the jewelry, to finance New Eyes funds in over 100 hospitals and health agencies throughout the U.S. The money in these funds buy glasses for people who have visor.
