BROOKLYN, N.Y., May 3, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Joe Sacks, CEO of MoralEyes, and his team will hand deliver 2400 pairs of reading glasses to the offices of New Eyes for the Needy a non-profit in Short Hills, New Jersey, bringing their total donation to 3600 pairs of reading glasses to date.

MoralEyes will close for the day to begin the company road trip in a minivan from ZipCar at 9:30 am on Wednesday May 4th, 2011. The teams and volunteers from both organizations will meet for the first time since the New Eyes fundraiser "See for Change II" in March, featuring Jake Gyllenhaal, where Joe Sacks, CEO of Moral Eyes and Susan Dyckman, Executive Director of New Eyes for the Needy met personally to discuss their continuing cooperation.

Last year New Eyes for the Needy provided eyeglasses to 4,102 needy residents of the U.S. and 200,000 poor people in developing nations, enabling American children to succeed in school, adults to secure jobs and senior citizens to read medicine labels by improving their eyesight.
