In The Community:

CrossNet Ministries exists to provide resources within the New Holland community in the areas of youth, food and nutrition, community and social services. Optometric Associates partners with CrossNet Ministries to provide NO COST eye health exams and eyewear for local children and family members in need. Eye exams and eyeglasses are donated to this organization on a monthly basis. Supporting Optometric Associates through the purchase of sunglasses helps sustain no-cost eye exams to families in need on a consistent basis.

Other programs we support locally are the Kiwanis Club, the Elanco Library, New Holland Summer Arts Program, New Holland Ambulance, Garden Spot Performing Arts, New Holland Early Learning Center, Lighthouse Vocational Services, and O’Neill’s Auto Body Annual Motorcycle Benefit Ride.

Our doctors provide free eye education to children at Kinderhaus Daycare, ongoing lecture series to senior citizen residents at Garden Spot Communities, and also visit local Amish schools to provide no cost vision screenings.
