Our Story

Founded in 1954, The Kentucky Lions Eye Foundation (KLEF) is a charitable non-profit organization whose mission is to provide vision services through education, detection, prevention, treatment and empowerment.  Through collaborative partnerships, we enable greater independence and increased quality of life for all Kentuckians while focusing on children and adults in financial need. 

 

The Foundation’s activities are supported through funds contributed by Lions & Lioness Clubs, individual members, businesses, benefactors, fundraising events,  memorials and bequests.

Eyeglass Assistance

Many Lions Clubs in Kentucky offer assistance with purchasing glasses for those in need in their communities.  Most have an application that must be completed for an individual to be considered.  KLEF can help you find your local Lions Club.

Old Glasses

Recycle Eyeglasses

Donate glasses and change someone's life.  Glasses can be dropped at any Lions Eyeglass Recycling Box around Kentucky.  Most of the usable glasses are used in mission trips to foreign countries to provide sight to poverty stricken communities.
