Who We Are
Vision Statement
New Eyes envisions a world without barriers to the tools for clear vision for all children and adults.
Our New Eyeglasses Program
New Eyes provides prescription eyeglasses for people in financial need in the U.S. through our fully digital evoucher program. Social service agencies, school nurses and other health advocates apply online on their client’s behalf. Individuals may apply directly providing proof-of-need. If the applicant is approved for our program, glasses are ordered online through New Eyes ordering site. Eligible clients can apply to our program through a social service agency, welfare worker or a school nurse.
Mission Statement
New Eyes provides the transformative tool of eyeglasses to children and adults facing financial challenges.
Our Volunteers
Volunteers ahave always been an integral part of New Eyes. They operate New Eyes’ Resale Shop that helps pay for eyeglasses for financially struggling U.S. residents. They provide administrative support for our staff so that New Eyes’ resources are dedicated to services rather than administrative tasks. Our volunteers are a diverse group: retirees, homemakers, and students; individuals and groups; volunteers who serve for one day or decades. Each volunteer shares a genuine commitment to helping children and adults in need across the U.S. have a clearer and brighter future.
New Eyes Resale Shop
We sell a wide selection of donated fine and costume jewelry, brooches, watches, crystal, china, silver, decorative items, and designer sunglasses at our resale shop located on the property of the Congregational Community Church in Short Hills, NJ and through our eBay store. Sales proceeds go towards the purchase of glasses for the needy in the US. Our resale shop does NOT CHARGE SALES TAX.
