Our public policy team recently spent a day in Harrisburg as part of the Pennsylvania Association for the Blind's (PAB) policy day. We visited legislative offices to educate legislators and staff about VisionCorps and our rehab services for people who are blind or vision impaired.

We visited House and Senate legislative offices to advocate for the $4 million+ funding to continue for PAB so that VisionCorps will receive some state funding to help provide for its vision rehabilitation services.
