How We're Helping
We are a nonprofit organization focused on ending the enormous waste of contact lenses worldwide and on providing underprivileged kids with access to free, quality contact lenses. Hundreds of thousands of contact lenses have been collected to date.
Get Involved
Simply donate all of your unused contact lenses that no longer match your prescription. Also, we are always looking for volunteers to help spread the reach of our mission. Please contact us if you would like to organize your own local DonateContacts contact run. We're excited to have you join the team!
Thank You
Whether you help through contact donations, volunteering your time, or spreading our mission through word-of-mouth, thank you. We couldn't accomplish our goals without the help of supporters like you.
About Us
DonateContacts Founder Harris Gevinson
I've been wearing contacts since I was 13 years old and my prescription is always changing before I finish the lenses for my old prescription. I am always left with lots of unused contact lenses that no longer match my prescription because of this. After talking to many of my peers and realizing that they too are often in the same situation, I decided to start this charitable organization to end the waste of contact lenses and help underprivileged kids obtain free contact lenses.
About Us
DonateContacts President Ella Millen
Ever since I started wearing contacts, day to day tasks have felt easier and more natural than having to wear glasses all the time. I realized how much I benefit from wearing contacts, and I’ve decided to help others with the same issue. There are so many contacts that go to waste because of prescription changes, and so many unprivileged children in need. Donate Contacts is a charity dedicated to helping kids in need gain access to free contacts, which can impact their daily lives in a positive way.
