SOLAR ECLIPSE GLASSES

To help give back, Villa is collecting used but undamaged solar eclipse glasses to support the charity Eclipse Glasses USA. Their mission is to provide these glasses to children in South America so they can watch the new annual solar eclipse in October.

 

They ask that donated glasses be US-made paperboard glasses with the manufacturer's address and contact info and the ISO logo. Any other types will be discarded. Villa will have a collection box for glasses at the Admin office front desk through May 10th.

 

“Imagine a classroom in a remote village where students have only read about solar eclipses in their textbooks. Now, thanks to the donation program, they can witness it firsthand, with their own eyes, safely shielded by the glasses provided by generous donors from thousands of miles away,” the company wrote on its website.

 

If you would like to support on your own, the address to mail the glasses is:
