Vision Beyond The Ordinary

Westmoreland County Blind Association provides a place and a purpose for people living with sight impairments or intellectual challenges. Those we serve enrich our lives and communities too. We share a dynamic environment of mutual respect, can-do attitudes and the choice for rewarding work.

WCBA also provides vision screenings for area children and promotes greater independence for area residents living with vision loss.

Improving lives all around – that’s vision beyond the ordinary.

Our mission since 1948

WCBA’s mission is to improve the quality of life for the sight impaired and intellectually challenged individuals as well as to assist in the prevention of blindness. To fulfill this mission, WCBA provides services and programs to individuals that enhance productivity and independence; and educates the community about eye disease, damage prevention and detection.
