Payne Glasses Teams Up with The Salvation Army to Provide up to 5,000 Pairs of Free Prescription Eyeglasses to Those in Need

PITTSBURGH, Nov. 7, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Payne Glasses is partnering with The Salvation Army through their People Helping People program to provide up to 5,000 pairs of Prescription eyeglasses for children and adults in need across Western Pennsylvania. Billions of people around the world are prevented from achieving their potential due to a lack of proper prescription eye wear. The inability to see clearly is a huge barrier to economic and overall human progress, and Payne Glasses believes that everyone deserves clear vision and the opportunity to reach their full potential.

"We are thrilled to team up with The Salvation Army in order to make sure that all Western Pennsylvanians have access to high quality and fashionable prescription eye wear, even when they are experiencing financial hardship," said Damon Himes, Marketing Director at Payne Glasses.

Families interested in receiving Prescription eyeglasses must meet poverty guidelines. Applicants should visit their local Salvation Army and bring a photo ID, proof of guardianship of children, proof of current address, and proof of income from the last 30 days. Applicants will also need a valid Prescription from their eye doctor.

If you or your family are in need of prescription eyeglasses, please call (412) 446-1500 to be referred to your local Salvation Army or visit www.wpa.salvationarmy.org for a location listing.
