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.
