Hearing Aid Recycling

Lions Clubs across the state collect used hearing aids and send them to the North Carolina Lions Foundation for recycling.

These aids are sent to Starkey Labs where credit is given for the purchase of new hearing aids. This allows us to provide more aids through our Hearing Program.

THE BASICS OF GETTING A PROGRAM OFF THE GROUND

• Put someone in charge and set up a collection point.
• Meet with, or write a letter to the newspaper editor or radio station manager to explain the details of your campaign, including the names of the people involved.
• If your club has a bulletin, write an article for it about the collection drive. Follow up with reminders.
• Prepare collection boxes and place them with posters in selected locations.
• Ask members of your club to spread the word among their friends and other groups to which they belong.
