• VON'S VISION CENTER VONS VISION CENTERS ARE MOBILE OPTOMETRY KIOSKS THAT ALLOW IN-NEED STUDENTS TO RECEIVE VISION CARE ON AN ONGOING BASIS WITHOUT THE BURDEN OF TRANSPORTATION. THESE CUSTOMIZED CENTERS HOLD FASHIONABLE EYEWEAR AND ACCESSORIES, CREATING A UNIQUE AND EXCITING OPTICAL CENTER ON WHEELS. VOLUNTEER MEDICAL PROVIDERS CONDUCT ON-SITE EYE SCREENINGS AND EXAMS AT EACH VONS VISION CENTER LOCATION. CHILDREN IN NEED WILL SHOP FOR FASHIONABLE EYEWEAR FROM THE VONS VISION CENTER AND THEIR FULFILLED GLASSES WILL BE DELIVERED BACK TO THE PARTICIPATING VONS VISION CENTER LOCATION. THE VISION CENTER ALSO HOLDS VONS VISION SWAG FOR THE STUDENTS TO ACCESS, SUCH AS BRANDED LENS CLEANING CLOTHES, LENS CLEANING WIPES, WRIST BANDS, GLASSES CASES, AND MORE. SO FAR, VONS VISION HAS LAUNCHED VISION CENTERS AT THE BRONCOS BOYS & GIRLS CLUB IN DENVER, THE COPE BOYS & GIRLS CLUB IN DENVER, THE DENVER BOYS & GIRLS CLUB, AND AT TEXAS A&M UNIVERSITYS STUDENT HEALTH SERVICES.

• VON'S LOCKERS 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.
