For someone who needs new glasses, time is of the essence. There are great programs like the California Vision Program and Project Homeless Connect who do offer vision services for low-income individuals, sometimes the wait can be months before receiving the much needed exam or glasses. This week, the DPN learned about an incredible resource from of CVE's excellent service coordinators: The Lenscrafters Gift of Sight Program.

Through this program, an agency may refer one person per week to receive a free pair of glasses and eye exam. To refer someone, fax a letter to the Gift of Sight Program. The letter must be on agency stationery, and contain the person's name and the agency's 501(c)3 federal tax ID number. The advocate should call to schedule an appointment by calling the above number.
