"Rivers do not drink their own water; trees do not eat their own fruit; the sun does not shine on itself and flowers do not spread their fragrance for themselves.  Living for others is a rule of nature.  We are all born to help each other.  No matter how difficult it is...Life is good when you are happy; but much better when others are happy because of you."   Pope Francis

Old Man Rivers Mission has a program to help individuals obtain eye exams and glasses.  This is income based.   The individual must complete an application through our office.  We will notify you of the date and time of your appointment.   All appointments must be kept because we do not reschedule.  We will help an individual once every five years due to the number of requests for this service.
