Join HJAHC & Vision To Learn in empowering students in Trenton to envision a brighter future.
Make an impact in the lives of Trenton youth by supporting our campaign to provide free vision screenings, exams, and prescription eyeglasses to all students in the Trenton Public Schools.
1 in 4 children in public schools lack the glasses they need to SEE the board, READ a book, or PARTICIPATE in class.
Help us Reach Our Goal:
Provide 12,000 students in Trenton with corrective vision services
In underserved communities, 95% of children who need glasses do not have them. Students with uncorrected vision problems often avoid reading, suffer headaches, and have trouble focusing in class.
A gift of $140 sponsors a child in Trenton to receive comprehensive vision services through our partnership with Vision to Learn. When you give, you are helping that child succeed in school and in life.
We believe that everyone deserves access to high-quality healthcare, no matter their ability to pay. Learn more about how you can join us in the journey to eliminating health disparities in Trenton and Mercer County.
