+ Become a Pride Member
PRIDE stands for Prestigious Recurring Individual Donor Entourage but it’s actually a way for donors to make convenient monthly gifts to sustain our sight and hearing saving programs. 100% of your donation funds direct service programs through student vision screenings, eyeglass and hearing aid assistance, as well as surgeries and treatments.
Did you know OLSHF serves over 200,000 children, adults, and seniors each year? Your regular gift of any amount makes this possible. Most of our PRIDE members elect to donate a small amount each month. Not only does this provide help like this to those who need it the most, but it ensures your foundation continues to save the sight and hearing of those in need. Click here to learn more!
+ Donate a Vehicle
Donate your vehicle to OLSHF! We partner with the Volunteers of America to coordinate your donation and receive a portion of the proceeds to support our programs. Click here to learn more.
