impairments often lack access to receive a pair of glasses.

Project Details: Kaelyn created a series of collection boxes titled the Pink Box Drive. These boxes collected sunglasses, reading glasses and eyeglasses individuals no longer use, which could be repurposed and given to community members in need. Kaelyn joined forces with local businesses, churches and other organizations to set up collection locations. Kaelyn collaborated with the Maplewood Lion’s Club to sort and process the donations. Every pair of glasses she collected was restored and then distributed to people in need of visual support throughout the area.
