Be My Eyes: An opportunity to Volunteer from anywhere! - Be the "eyes" of a visually-impaired person. Through the Be My Eyes app, when a visually-impaired person needs help, a call goes out to volunteers. If a volunteer has time, she can answer the call and help the person with the requested task through a one-way camera that allows the volunteer to see what the visually-impaired person needs. The Be My Eyes Help Center has an extensive Volunteer FAQ. Download the app in the App Store or the Google Play Store to get started!
Volunteer with the Metro Washington Ear - Contribute to the Metro Washington Ear lookup services, live theater audio descriptions or Outreach Events.
Eyeglass Collection - If you have eyeglasses to donate to the Lions Club, please email here for our updated address for collection.
Anchor Grant Information - Anchor Grants help Delta Gamma sisters who find themselves in extreme, unexpected life circumstances. To apply for an Anchor Grant, you must be in good standing with the Fraternity. Anchor Grants are awarded throughout the year, as funds are available.
