Loyola K-Kids continue eyeglasses drive The Loyola School K-Kids Club, sponsored by the Kiwanis Club of Los Altos, will attempt to set a club record during its eighth annual “Share Old Spectacles” drive. The students have set a goal of collecting 1,500 pairs of eyeglasses. The K-Kids Club, comprising second- through sixth-graders, has collected more than 9,000 pairs in eight years with the help of the public and local storeowners who offer space for donation boxes.
The glasses are sent to Direct Relief International in Goleta, where they are repaired, prescriptions identified and distributed to those who need them in the U.S. and throughout the world. Donation boxes are available at Loyola School, 770 Berry Ave.; Los Altos Bakery, 692 Fremont Ave.; the Los Altos Town Crier, 138 Main St.; Heritage Bank of Commerce, 419 S. San Antonio Road; Wildberry Yogurt, 656 Fremont Ave.; Brian’s Restaurant, 680 Fremont Ave.; Kumon Learning Center, 1780 Miramonte Ave.; Eye Lite Optometry, 286 State St.; and the El Camino YMCA, 2400 Grant Road.
