Friends of the Blind
FreeAbout this course
Friends of the Blind is a unique and impactful program for both our visually impaired clients and the volunteers who serve them! Client needs are evaluated and tailored support is provided in two meaningful ways:
- Education and training on assistive devices, available services, and resource referrals
- Connection to a carefully selected volunteer to provide help, companionship, and outing opportunities for recreational and cultural events.
The gratifying Friends of the Blind volunteer experience goes beyond working one-on-one with an individual to help with tasks like reading mail or getting groceries. FOB volunteers form friendships, share joys and make a difference in the life and well-being of another deserving individual!
Should you know someone who might benefit from our program – as a client or a volunteer – reach out to Program Coordinator Dina Glen @ 973-288-9237 or dglen@cfp-mnh.org.
