difficult to afford the cost of prescription glasses.

OneSight Initiative

You can take your unwanted prescription glasses or sunglasses to Lens Crafters, Pearle, Sears Optical,

Sunglasses Hut or Target Optical store locations throughout New Jersey. The glasses will then be redistributed

to poor communities around the world through the OneSight charity.

The OneSight webpage provides more information on the work they do to improve the quality of life in poor

communities around the world, through the gift of eye glasses.

Use the OneSight zip code search to find the nearest drop off location to where you live.

Lions Club International

poor communities. One of their projects involves the collection of eye glasses for redistribution in poor

The Bridge is a unique program of support and positive lifestyle enrichment for the adolescent population. The

overall goal of The Bridge is to aid in the healthy development of adolescents. The Bridge differs from other

programs in that it is not crisis-oriented; rather, it addresses the challenges of adolescence, in general. The years

between 13 and 19 present a whole new set of problems, questions, and issues that need to be dealt with by

professionally trained, dedicated, and caring people. This is where The Bridge comes in - it recognizes the

special psychological, social, and spiritual needs of this growing population.

There are two aspects of The Bridge:
