What is Sight for Sore Eyes?

A 501(c)(3) charitable corporation dedicated to providing humanitarian aide.

What do we do? This foundation was organized to provide a shortcut between workers and work needing to be done. To connect donors and those in need without the bureaucracy that sometimes separates them  We believe the world's greatest leaders lead quietly and with compassion. The primary function began with eye care--but has grown. Here's what we're doing now:


Lentes Para Todos (Glasses for All) is the eye-care-specific branch of SIGHT. The objective of Lentes Para Todos is to put as many pairs of eye glasses as possible on those in need throughout North and Central America. By teaming up with Lions Club International Sight Programs under-served adults are fitted with recycled eye wear that has been cleaned, sized, and packaged for reuse. Children are tested and a prescription is written for new glasses.


The Riverside Resource Center is located in a mobile home community about 5 miles east of the city of Georgetown, Texas. The community is primarily Spanish-speaking and currently has about 350 residents. The residents of Riverside represents families who are looking to establish home ownership and a stable start. The RRC is staffed by volunteers who work to improve the educational, spiritual and emotional well-being of the residents by offering after school tutoring, classes in English, computer literacy, GED and a variety of free services that will aid in improved quality of life. The RRC is also home to a family of new believers in Christ who worship and study there regularly.

Mission Resources is the arm of SIGHT that provides information, training and equipment needed by organizations - church, service, youth, civic, or others - who would like to participate in service and medically-based missions to areas in North and Central America. We provide expertise in humanitarian missions from initiation through post mission follow-up. We also work to connect smaller groups of volunteers and individuals who may not be part of an established "mission group team" to promote greater participation and effectiveness in these unique service settings.
