Since 1932, New Eyes for the Needy has been working to improve the vision of the poor world wide.

“Empower children and adults in the United States and overseas with the improved vision they need to pursue a better quality of life for themselves, their families, and their communities.” Mission Statement 

New Eyes for the Needy purchases new prescription eyeglasses through a voucher program for children and adults in the United States who cannot afford glasses on their own.

Eyeglasses in good condition are sent to medical missions and international charitable organizations for distribution to the poor in developing nations.

Specs Optical is proud to partner with New Eyes for the Needy. Bring in your old glasses today to help support a fantastic organization! Do it before November 30th, 2017, and we’ll give you  $50 off a complete pair for YOU!

Did you know that 1 in 10 households in Minnesota are affected by hunger?Hunger is an urban, suburban and rural problem. There is no corner of the state where hunger does not exist.

Second Harvest Heartland has been one of the nation’s largest, most efficient and most innovative hunger relief organization since October 1, 2001, when Second Harvest Greater Minneapolis and Second Harvest St. Paul joined forces to bring together more than 44 years of combined history and experience to the fight against hunger.

It is in recognition of this terrible epidemic that Specs Optical is proud to announce that we will be donating 10% of ALL SALES on Friday, November 17th, and Saturday, November 18th, to help provide food to our friends and neighbors in need.
