Sisters of Mercy Support Iowa Lions Eye Bank Drive
Sisters of Mercy at Sacred Heart convent Cedar Rapids boosted the Iowa Lions eye bank by volunteering donor cards and publicity during March donor card month. The project began after a sister’s eye injury highlighted the need for corneal donations. The Cedar Rapids Noon Lions fundraises by a broom and bulk sale on May 13 while stressing that eye tissue is donated, not bought.
