I see that a lot of people have said Lion's Club. But please do donate them to them. I am in the poverty level and disabled. I have no insurance for eye coverage. The Lion's Club has helped me on two occassions to get an eye exam and eye glasses. Those that use the Club's resources receive glasses from others that donate their old glasses. I then donate my old glasses. They are a tremendous attribute to the community. Please, Please go to any eye glass store and give your old glasses to them, they will see to it that they get inot the right hands.

D&A (the opticians) have bins for old glasses - I believe they get sent to people who otherwise couldn't afford them.

LensCrafters takes them and tests people in foreign countries that cannot afford glasses and fits them with the used ones after cleaning them up and removing scratches and the like. They help thousands of people all over the world with the donations of old glasses.

We just hand our daughters old glasses to the receptionist at the opticians and they are sent to an organisation that redistributes them in other countries.

you got your answer here: Lion's Club.
They have drop locations in area supermarkets or contact your local chapter. They distribute them to the needy. This would be a great thing for you to do and a great tax write off
