Make a Difference, One Cause at a Time
At Shamrock Family Eye Care, giving back to the community isn’t just something we do—it’s who we are. Dublin is more than where we work; it’s where we’ve built lasting relationships with patients, neighbors, and friends like you. We’re proud to support local charities, schools, and organizations that make a difference. Together, we can create a stronger, healthier community for everyone.
Lions Club
In 1925, Helen Keller challenged the Lions to become “knights of the blind in the crusade against darkness,” and the Lions Club rose to the challenge. As eye care providers, we appreciate their mission and support them in their endeavors.
If you have old glasses to donate, please drop them off. The Lions Club takes these glasses, donates them to the OSU College of Optometry, sorts them based on prescription, and uses them on social service missions worldwide via the Student VOSH (Volunteer Optometric Services to Humanity).
Operation Backpack®
Through the generosity of patients and friends, we’ve donated brand-new backpacks to Operation Backpack®. These backpacks were then collected and distributed to homeless and at-risk children throughout the Greater Cincinnati, Cleveland, and Columbus areas.
A filled backpack relieves struggling parents of a financial burden and provides a sense of normalcy to the lives of these children. Most importantly, a filled backpack allows these children to start the school year knowing that their education is important and that someone believes in them.
Run w/Passion 5K
The Run with Passion 5K supports the Passion Center for Children in Malawi, Africa. Passion Center for Children is a non-profit organization that seeks to join God in rescuing, redeeming, and restoring orphans, the vulnerable, and whole communities in Malawi, Africa.
What first began as a ministry that fed and cared for 30 orphaned children, nearly 20 years later, has grown into an organization that cares for more than 500 children and serves over 150 villages.
Feed The Kids Columbus
We were able to provide over 4,300 meals to kids in need. We also had a fun afternoon with our awesome staff, assembling snack packs and meal packs for the organization. Learn more here.
Thanks to everyone who supported the Feed The Kids Columbus initiative!
Hilliard Food Pantry
In July, the Hilliard Food Pantry experienced a fire that destroyed its warehouse and everything inside. To support the rebuilding efforts, Shamrock Family Eye Care donated $10 to the Hilliard Food Pantry for every pair of sunglasses sold through December 2023. A $10 donation provides an amazing $50+ in groceries to needy families!
