SOUTH EAST CONNECTICUT COMMUNITY CENTER OF THE BLIND INC

The Center of the Blind was founded in 1972 through the efforts of Marjorie Heath, a blind woman who felt the need for blind and visually impaired persons to come together for social and recreational opportunities. It was incorporated on May 12, 1976. Since this time, the Center has grown to include an accessible technology lab, monthly educational programming, support groups, and classes for learning basic Braile.

The Center offers services to the more than 1,000 legally blind residents of Southeastern Connecticut. We have an ongoing volunteer force to help with social and recreational activities, reading, clerical work, and transportation.

We are a 501c3 organization and depend on funding from private contributions, donations, fundraising, and grants.
