East Providence Lion Restores Eyeglass Collection Boxes

Fred Nowosielski, a dedicated member of the East Providence Lions Club, has gone above and beyond to revitalize the organization's eyeglass collection initiative. With expert craftsmanship, Fred meticulously restored the iconic yellow mailboxes that serve as collection points for donated eyeglasses.

These restored boxes play a crucial role in the Lions' global mission to improve vision care. After collection, the donated glasses are cleaned and sent to sight missions worldwide, where they are distributed free of charge to those in need.

Residents can now find these newly refurbished collection boxes at two convenient locations in East Providence:
• Grove Avenue (main post office) - Look for the yellow mailbox on the left side of the driveway/parking lot.
• Willett Avenue post office (Riverside) - The yellow mailbox is located on the right side of the parking lot.
