Our owner, Dr. Joseph Torres, has been living in San Francisco for over 30 years. He's found ways to give back to the community through Eye Carumba Optometry in ways that reflect his eclectic taste and different passion for the Bay Area.
Project Homeless Connect

Project Homeless Connect
Motto: “The mission of Project Homeless Connect is to connect San Franciscans experiencing homelessness with the care they need to move forward”
Founded in 2004, Project Homeless Connect is an organization that collaborates with different businesses, city agencies, and organizations to provide comprehensive services through different events to assist those who are at risk of becoming homeless, are currently experiencing homelessness or are transitioning from homelessness to housing. They are proud to serve more than 6,000 people every year through Community Day of Service events and in-house weekly services. In one day at a Community Day of Service event, a person experiencing homelessness can find services that would otherwise take months to secure.
Homelessness is a community issue, and as such requires a community solution which is why Eye Carumba is a proud partner of this organization. We take pride in providing glasses and services to those who need our assistance. Through the contributions of many including Eye Carumba, Project Homeless Connect was able to assist 10,907 people in getting glasses!
