This month is a time to educate ourselves on the impact of blindness and how we can support those affected. So let's come together and spread positivity and inclusivity for all individuals with visual impairments.

Spend some time giving back to your community by volunteering at a local organization that supports and empowers individuals who are blind or visually impaired. This can be a rewarding way to honor Blindness Awareness Month.
