We work with schools in our community to provide clothing and shoes. 

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.
