Salem & Peabody Lions Club program on Massachusetts Association for Blind ad Visually Impaired
Learn how to help the blind and visually impaired lead full, independent and satisfying lives
The Salem and Peabody Lions Clubs invite you to a May 15, 2017 information session to introduce the Massachusetts Association for the Blind and Visually Impaired (MABVI).
“At MABVI, we know that with the right support anything is possible. Individuals can lead full, independent and satisfying lives with the assistance of volunteers who help them adapt and make day to day tasks more manageable. Volunteering can transform lives and keep people in their homes.
Since 1903, this non-profit organization has been creating opportunities for people facing the challenges of vision loss and forging community partnerships to meet the pressing need for high quality services and to transform lives.”
