A Helping Hand for Hurricane Victims

Hurricanes can devastate lives and livelihoods, leaving families and individuals in desperate situations. In the aftermath of such disasters, the need for essential items becomes paramount. Vision care is often overlooked in these crises, but it is critical for daily living. That’s why Zenni is stepping up to provide free reading glasses and sunglasses to residents in the states hardest hit by Hurricane Helene: North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Tennessee, and Virginia.

Our Commitment to Accessibility

We recognize that vision is an essential part of everyday life. Whether it’s reading, working, or simply enjoying the world around us, clear vision plays a crucial role. Our donation program is designed to help those who may have lost or damaged their glasses during the hurricane or simply cannot afford to replace them.
