Outreach optical

Where Heritage Meets Humanity

Flint, Michigan

Overview

Outreach Optical is a Michigan-based community initiative dedicated to making vision care accessible and affordable for everyone. Founded on a family legacy of optical expertise and community service, we believe clear vision should never depend on financial status.

What We Do

Outreach Optical operates as a nonprofit optical lab and eyewear provider. We offer eye exams, glasses, and lenses on a donation-based model — allowing patients to contribute what they can, while ensuring no one is turned away for lack of funds. Our programs also include free eyewear for children 12 and under, and reduced-cost options for seniors, students, and veterans.

Our Mission

To restore clarity and confidence through compassionate, community-driven vision care — bridging the gap between healthcare and human connection.

Community Impact

Beyond affordable optical services, Outreach Optical is committed to:

• Providing local job training and volunteer opportunities in optical services.

• Partnering with shelters, recovery programs, and community clinics to reach those most in need.

• Encouraging sustainability through recycling and refurbishing gently used eyewear.
