Welcome to Valley Center for the Blind!

Valley Center for the Blind offers a new way of life as well as opportunities and a chance for independence.  Here at Valley center for the blind, we provide many different types of assistance for all ages. Our clients age from 5 years old to 102 years old.  We provide group and individual counseling, classes for Braille, computers, independent living skills and cooking. Other classes we provide are knitting, crocheting, and guitar. We frequently invite our clients bowling and to other social gatherings as well. Our center also has an in house store where you can purchase anything and everything for the blind and visually impaired.

 

Announcements.

 

   Valley Center for the Blind is having a fireworks booth again this year at Clinton and Brawley, June 28th through July 4th.

 

   This was a great fundraiser last year and in order to make it a success this year, we need more volunteers to help in the booth.  If you or anyone you know would be willing to help (each shift would be 4 hours), please contact Saramarie Katich at 222-4447.

 

   Don’t forget to tell all your friends and family to purchase their fireworks at our stand.

 

We have moved

To better serve the clients and the general public we have decided to move to a more convenient location.

We will still be offering all of the services that we now offer, and hopefully more in the near future.
