When the world gets a little dimmer, community brings the light. 🌟

Whether you're navigating macular degeneration, glaucoma, cataracts, or another eye condition, you don't have to figure it out alone. We're bringing together people who truly understand the journey to share resources, swap tips, and lift each other up.

Because the best kind of support comes from those who get it.

Join us and find your people:
• Connect with others living with vision loss
• Discover resources, tools, and assistive technology
• Share what's working and learn what's possible
• Build a community rooted in strength, not limitation

📍 153 Spruce Street, Manchester (Park behind the building or handicap parking on Florence St.)
📅 1st Tuesday of every month
