Mission and programs · 2023

• VON'S LOCKER - VONS LOCKERS ARE THE NEWEST COMMUNITY OUTREACH PROGRAM OF VONS VISION AND, LIKE THE VISION CENTERS, OFFER A PERMANENT FIXTURE THAT GETS STUDENTS BRAND-NEW PRESCRIPTION GLASSES WITHOUT THE BURDEN OF TRANSPORTATION. VONS LOCKERS ALLOW STUDENTS WHO ALREADY HAVE ACCURATE PRESCRIPTIONS TO EASILY SELECT A NEW PAIR OF GLASSES (AND A SPARE PAIR), BYPASSING THE SCREENINGS AND EXAMS. CONDUCTED IN PARTNERSHIP WITH HERO PRACTICE SERVICES, VONS LOCKER ALLOWS CLINICAL VOLUNTEERS TO PROVIDE A CONTINUUM OF CARE TO THE STUDENTS WHO ARE SERVED THROUGH VONS VISION. THIS MEANS THAT ISSUES LIKE BROKEN GLASSES AND CHANGING PRESCRIPTIONS CAN BE RESOLVED IN A TIMELY MANNER. REGULAR VONS LOCKER DAYS ALLOW CHILDREN IN THE COMMUNITY TO COME IN FOR A NEW PAIR OF GLASSES, COMPLETELY FREE OF CHARGE. IN 2020, VONS VISION OPENED ITS FIRST VONS LOCKER WITHIN TEXAS A&M UNIVERSITYS STUDENT HEALTH SERVICES. AN ADDITIONAL THIRTEEN VONS LOCKERS ARE NOW SITUATED AT ADVENTURE VISION AND ACADEMY KIDS LOCATIONS ALONG COLORADOS FRONT RANGE. IN AUGUST 2023, VON'S VISION OPENED ITS FIRST VON'S LOCKER IN NEW YORK AT THE ATWAL EYE CARE IN ORCHARD PARK, NY.
