VisionCorps

You Can Give the Gift of Independence!

 

As a VisionCorps supporter, you can help your friends and neighbors who are living with vision loss attain independence. We help them by offering meaningful employment and providing vision rehabilitation and therapy.

Did you know? There are more than 5,000 individuals living with vision loss in Lancaster and that number is expected to grow with aging baby boomers.

Did you know? VisionCorps employees manufacture pads for combat helmets and rifle slings, and package rice for US troops. Our professional services division employs contract closeout specialists for the Department of Defense. We also work on cartridges for talking books for the Library of Congress’ service for the blind and those with other disabilities and produce delineator posts for the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation and turnpike roads.

Your gift provides:

• Job training and accommodations for individuals with impaired vision

• Support groups for individuals with vision loss so they can share stories and guidance on overcoming obstacles

• Orientation and mobility education which teaches clients how to travel safely and independently

• Instruction on vision aides like magnifiers and high contrast items to support daily living tasks

• Youth enrichment services which offer fun activities like cooking, kayaking and classes to help students live a full and independent life after high school

• Access technology training in the most up to date devices and software available for individuals with vision loss

 

Thank you for giving the gift of independence to your friends and neighbors living with vision loss!
