The Northwest Lions Eyeglass Recycling Center
Dedicated to Dr. Bob and Roberta Pinson
The Northwest Lions Eyeglass Recycling Center (NWLERC) was founded by Lions Clubs throughout the Pacific Northwest and is recognized by Lions Clubs International as an official Lions Eyeglass Recycling Center. NWLERC is a Washington State-chartered, IRS-authorized 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.
Today, we proudly carry forward the vision and legacy of Dr. Bob and Roberta Pinson, whose dedication to restoring sight and serving others helped build the foundation of NWLERC. Their commitment continues to inspire our volunteers, Lions, and partners as we change lives, one pair of glasses at a time.
