Goodwill Vision Enterprises:
2,185 people served across 7 counties
As we adjust to the “new normal” living in a world with COVID-19, our vision services
team has continued to adapt to provide the best support possible for community
members a ected by low-vision and blindness. We continue to provide face-to-face
services to individuals of all ages in their homes, communities, or worksites, and have
served over 2,000 people during scal year 2021-2022. Our Social Work, Vision
Rehabilitation, and Orientation & Mobility services cover 7 counties: Monroe, Wayne,
Livingston, Ontario, Yates, Seneca, and Steuben.
In an e ort to continue to provide a holistic range of services, we welcomed a
licensed social worker to our team, and restarted support groups o ering in-person
and virtual meeting options. Additionally, our team provides educational support to
our community by o ering sensitivity to blindness training by request.
Children & Family Programming
Fun, family, and friendships were celebrated
this year during our Children & Family events!
Our Children & Family programming o ers a
space for children and families a ected by
low-vision and blindness to play, explore, and
enjoy being a part of a community. Many
in-person and virtual events were o ered
covering a range of interests. From “You and Me
Yoga,” visiting the birds of prey at Wild Wings
Animal Sanctuary, and rock climbing at
RocVentures, there was an activity for everyone!
