COLUMBUS, Ind. – The City of Columbus is collecting all gently used or new eclipse glasses to donate to organizations that distribute them to educators and schools in other locations across the globe so they can see a future once-in-a-lifetime experience like Bartholomew County residents had on April 8.
By donating your gently used or new eclipse glasses, others have a chance to view an extraordinary natural phenomenon and you contribute to the education of students and educators in different parts of the world.
A small gesture can make a big impact. If you have eclipse glasses lying around after the recent eclipse event, consider donating them. The lenses should be free of punctures, scratches, and bends, and the housing, whether plastic or cardboard, has to be in good shape.
Drop off any new or gently used glasses through April 30 at the locations listed below:
- Columbus Area Visitors Center
- Columbus Department of Public Works
- Columbus Municipal Airport
- Any Columbus Fire Department
