Since 2012, Costco has partnered with New Eyes for the Needy to support its Overseas Program. Costco sends members’ used eyewear and hearing aids to New Eyes where they are sorted, tested and repackaged for distribution to those in need around the world. Annual donations are approximately 260,000 used glasses and 1,800 hearing aids. Most often, the glasses are the first and only pair of eyeglasses the recipients have owned.
