Mission Statement

Our mission is to make access to vision care possible for the underserved population in the United States through advocacy, education, outreach, and connection.

Description

Vision care is often overlooked, particularly in underserved communities. ECN Purpose, a 501 (c)(3) nonprofit organization located in Orange County, CA, is dedicated to addressing this gap in vision care by raising awareness about eye health and ensuring access to vision care for those in need through advocacy, outreach, education, and connection.

Utilizing ECN Purpose’s state-of-the-art Mobile Eye Health Unit, volunteer optometrists and technicians provide vision screenings and eye exams to underserved populations. ECN Purpose collaborates with nonprofit partners to bring their services to locations throughout Orange County, overcoming common obstacles like trust, transportation, and geographic limitations. "We meet people where they are and safely connect them to vision care," says Carolyn Khuu, Mobile Eye Health manager at ECN Purpose.

"At ECN Purpose, we emphasize the importance of preventative care and eye health education, particularly in a time when digital devices are so prominent. We provide a variety of educational resources, including videos, social media posts, and free downloadable materials on our website," notes Cassandra Hume, Executive Director.

ECN Purpose welcomes eye care professionals, bilingual translators, and dedicated community members to make a meaningful impact through volunteer opportunities. Be a part of something bigger - help bring clear sight and brighter futures to those in need.
