As a VisionCorps supporter, you can help your friends and
neighbors who are living with vision loss attain independence. We help them by
offering meaningful employment and providing vision rehabilitation and therapy.
Did you know? There are more than 5,000 individuals living with vision loss in Lancaster and that number is expected to grow with aging baby boomers.
Did you know? VisionCorps employees manufacture pads for
combat helmets and rifle slings, and package rice for US troops. Our

Department of Defense. We also work on cartridges for talking books for the
Library of Congress’ service for the blind and those with other disabilities and produce delineator posts for the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation
and turnpike roads.
