WE ACCEPT MONETARY AS WELL AS USED EYEGLASS DONATIONS

The PHOCCUS Foundation is a​n organization providing better vision for children and members of the community in need. The organization assists infants up to college age students. The focus of the organization is to ensure all school aged children have the same opportunities in the classroom, and that is being able to see properly at a distance and near.

The organization is guided by policies, integrity, and professionalism. The organization was founded in 2019 and has not been able to assist with as many eye-exam purchases, as we would like.  The lack of funds caused the organization to turn away some patients or refer them to other organizations who may be able to help. 

The organization believes that its services are required by many visually impaired individuals, not only in our state but across the United States as well as the rest of the world. We plan to send donated eyeglasses to families around the globe, who are in need. The vision is to expand our services to as many students as we can, as well as adults in the community who are in need and meet the requirements.

What will your monetary donations help with?

  1. T​he coverage of eye exam cost 
  2. The purchase of eyeglasses. 
  3. The near future goal is to purchase a mobile eye clinic.
  4. The purchase of equipment, in order to do onsite refractions (eye exams),
  5. Purchase of tools for adjustments
  6.  Equipment for fittings of frames and measurements.
  7. Surfacing and Finishing equipment (making the eyeglasses onsite), 
  8. Delivery Vehicle for dispensing of prescription eyewear to local schools or onsite at Community Recreation Centers.  
Your very generous donations will go towards these services and goals.  

Thank you in advance for your donation.


Who will your used eyeglasses benefit?

Your generous donations of used prescription eyeglasses will benefit individuals in need across the world.

2021 Gently Used Eyeglass Donations

Your Generous Donations went to Kenya!!


Thanks for all the generous eyeglass donations.  We donated all the gently used glasses to families in Africa. The PHOCCUS Foundation partnered with Unveiling Glory on their mission trip to Kenya. We included the prescription for each pair of glasses, to better assist those in Kenya to distribute the closest prescription eyeglass to the right patient.



A Mission Message

{Dear Desiree,

Today, I am leaving at 3pm from Richmond, Virginia to go to Kenya. I arrive in Nairobi at midnight tomorrow and then leave five hours later to catch another flight to Malindi, Kenya. (Ha ha, talk about jet lag!!!)

Upon arrival, I will immediately be speaking to a church Pastor Peter Wagura has me scheduled at.

After that, Bob Saunders (my friend and an UnveilinGLORY board member) and I will be driven two hours to eventually wind up near the area where we will be seeking to serve the Waata by building them a school for their little children.}

Thank You for Giving the Gift of Sight!
