Volunteering

Volunteer with Unite 4 Sight

Contact Steven Houston (skh7d@virginia.edu) to learn about volunteering opportunities in our community.  We are currently working with Unite 4 Sight to provide vision screenings at the Salvation Army twice a month. 

 Eye Care We Care (ECWC) Foundation

ECWC is a non-profit organization that provides vision care for the poor in the Philippines. ECWC is unique in its mission as we bring vision care to the people. We recently converted a bus into a mobile vision clinic that we can drive into the remote barangays (villages) in the Philippine countryside. We are currently fundraising to outfit a mobile surgery clinic and a permanent optical lab. Check us out at our website: http://www.eyecarewecare.org/index.htm Also, support our foundation in Jacksonville, FL for the 2nd Annual ECWC Golf Tournament, organized by Steven Houston, Sam Houston, and Jim Weyrich, co-sponsored by Vistakon.
