Collection bins are located in Sterling Memorial Library and the Yale Cushing/Whitney Medical Library.
Unite for Sight is dedicated to preventing blindness locally and internationally through free community vision screenings, public education about eye disease and the importance of regular eye exams to prevent blindness, a speaker series and an eyeglass drive. Additionally, Unite for Sight is committed to supporting those community members with deteriorating vision through community assistance.

Yale-New Haven Hospital and the Yale Cancer Center are teaming up with the New England Marrow Donor Program for a series of stem cell/bone marrow testing drives during November.
Patients with leukemia whose disease cannot be controlled by medicine and related treatments depend for survival on a stem cell transplant. Those who cannot find a suitable match amongst their siblings depend on the National Marrow Donor Program. According to the organizers of the drives, more diversity is needed on the National Registry. Donors of African American, Hispanic and American Indian descent are strongly urged to participate.
Donors attending the drives will be asked to watch a short video explaining the procedure. They will complete a consent form and have a small sample of blood taken from their finger, which will enter them into the National Registry.
Testing drives will be at the following dates and locations:
* Nov. 14, 10 a.m.-5 p.m. -- Harkness Ballroom, Yale School of Medicine;
* Nov. 15, 11 a.m.-4:30 p.m. -- Grace Building, Yale-New Haven Hospital;
* Nov. 16, noon-4 p.m. -- Radio Amor, 261 Portsea St., New Haven;
* Nov. 17, 11 a.m.-2:30 p.m. -- St. Luis Church, 89 Bull Hill Lane, West Haven;
* Nov. 18, 5-8 p.m. -- St. Rose of Lima's Church, 115 Blatchley Ave., New Haven;
* Nov. 19, 1-5 p.m. -- Afro American Cultural Center, Enormous Room, 211 Park St., New Haven;
* Nov. 20, 3-7 p.m. -- Gateway Community College, Long Wharf Cafetorium, 60 Sargent Drive, New Haven.
