The Vision Clinic at Cougar Health Services invites faculty, staff, students, and community members to donate their old eyeglass frames to help students who need new glasses but can’t afford them.
Drop boxes are located at convenient locations around the Pullman campus:
- Washington Building
In the Cougar Health Services medical clinic patient waiting area - Compton Union Building (CUB)
Inside the west entrance near Gesa Credit Union - Lighty Student Services Building
Office 360 next to the food pantry donation box - Student Recreation Center
Inside the main entrance near the information desk - SPARK
Inside the west entrance facing the Education Addition building
For people who want to donate eyeglass frames, including sunglasses, but fear they may not be in good enough shape, put them in a drop box anyway. Vision clinic staff will inspect and sanitize each frame and make any necessary repairs.
Students who are unable to purchase new frames can choose one from among the donated frames for free, only paying for lenses if necessary. Any enrolled student at WSU Pullman is eligible to receive one free frame each academic year.
The Vision Clinic is also participating in a contact lens recycling program sponsored by Bausch & Lomb. A recycling box for contact lenses is located at the front entrance of the Vision Clinic, located on the ground floor of the Washington Building.
