   District Eyeglasses Recycling Program

Throughout the year, Lions in boyh the Multi-District and our district collect used eyeglasses through a network of eyeglass collection boxes.  The glasses are counted and then delivered to our various Colorado facilities where Lions and Leos sort, clean, repair, test and package each individual pair of eyeglasses.  From there the eyeglasses make there way for delivery to mission groups.  Most of the recycled glasses are distributed to people in need in developing countries where they will have the greatest impact.

    International Hearing Dogs 

International Hearing Dogs mission is to empower individuals who are d/Deaf and hard of hearing by purposefully training specially selected dogs to alert to sounds,  carefully matching these dogs with handlers who are deaf and hard of hearing and supporting the paired teams throughout the lifetime of the match. 

On May 7, 1979, the “Hearing Ear Program” became Hearing Dog, Inc., an independent non-profit. Soon thereafter, Hearing Dog, Inc. became International Hearing Dog to reflect program expansions in Canada.

Today, IHDI staff and volunteers have trained more than 1,350 dogs to assist individuals who are deaf and hard of hearing. These dogs have found homes in all 50 states of the United States and Canada. IHDI has also helped start independent Hearing Dog programs in Japan, Norway, and Australia. It is based in Colorado and is suported by Lions.
