How You Can Help The Blind Through
The National Federation Of The Blind
There are a number of things you can do to help yourself if you're blind or,
if you're sighted, to help those of us who are blind. Perhaps the most
important thing is to let others know about
the National Federation of the Blind.
The most constructive way to deal with ignorance is to provide ACCURATE
information and there is no better source for that information than the
National Federation of the Blind.
Your volunteer time, working with us, is a vital part of our ability to
continue changing what it means to be blind. Whether you're blind or sighted,
come to our chapter meetings, state and national conventions, join us when we
speak before legislatures promoting Braille and other bills that help blind
people become part of society on a basis of equality. You can help us make
the difference.
Your tax-deductible contributions are very much appreciated and needed. There
are several
ways you can make donations
to the National Federation of the Blind.
