Casa Hogar Optical Mission Eye Glass Cases Needed!
We NEED your help! The Casa Hogar Optical Mission's next trip is January 2021 and we never have enough cases so the ones you make are wonderful. We do need to ask the ladies to only use rectangle potholders as the curved ones are difficult to slide the glasses into and may times to small. You can send the cases to the mission office with any priest going into the diocesan center and they will get them from from there to pack in the boxes going down with the mission. They pack things as they come in so bring them in any time! They also collect used glasses, reading glasses and sunglasses both prescription and non-prescription. All cases new and used and anything else pertaining to eyewear, always in need of lens wipes and lens cloths.
Thank you so much for you help and know that it is very much appreciated, I also do presentations about our mission if you are ever in need of a speaker.
blessings to you all,
Cindy Sjolander
