Mission: The mission of von's vision is to better the vision of denver-area youth by providing them needed eye examinations and eyewear to succeed in the classroom and in life.
Programs: All year long -"von's vision - all year long" launched in the fall of 2017 and provides free corrective eye wear to denver-area children and students. In 2017, vons vision all year long will help more than 2,000 low- income denver-area children and students. Back to school -vons vision partners with optometrists, opticians, and retailers to provide school kids with eye exams and eyewear all in the same day. For one day, a denver area school is transformed into a clinic where children can get screened, have an eye exam, shop for frames and walk out with new glasses in about an hour.
von's vision day-von's vision day has two parts. First, vons vision partners with national and regional eye wear retailers to provide a city-wide vision day for low- income denver children. Each child receives a free screening, and if needed, free eye exams and corrective eye wear. After the prescription glasses have been cut, von hosts a reveal party where children are fitted for their glasses, personally delivered by von.
