About the VIP Support Group Mission
THE MISSION
While the original intent of the founders of Society for the Blind was to provide a congregating space for people in the Sacramento area who were blind, today’s vision includes providing life and job skills training, mentorship, and access to tools to maintain independence for thousands of youth, adults and seniors in Sacramento and the surrounding areas experiencing vision loss. Each year over 5,000 individuals participate in our programs and services through classes at our teaching center, in-home training sessions and community workshops.
For over 100 years, since the founding of the first support group and the founding of the Lions Club's mission to battle blindness and vision problems. support groups have formed with the mission to empower individuals living with low vision or blindness to discover, develop and achieve their full potential.
Many key services and activities for VIPs, the blind, and deaf/blind live here at the North Carolina Lions Foundation
While vision is the main focus of the Lions mission of Service, see the many Lions Global Actions that serve the many needs of so many people.
