Venango County Association for the Blind

Venango County Association for the Blind We're a non-profit helping the blind and visually impaired in Forest, Venango, and Clarion Counties

The Venango County Association for the Blind offers several different areas of service:

Prevention of Blindness:

The services under the Prevention Program are provided to the adults and children in Venango, Clarion and Forest counties. These services include: Preschool Screenings which are conducted in the head start centers, day care centers, preschools and at kindergarten registrations. We also provide adult screenings at health fairs and senior centers. These screenings are performed by trained and certified staff. Educational programs are also a key component of this area of service and are conducted in preschools and for fourth grade students. Blind and Visually Impaired Program Services Provided:

Services available in this area include: Referral services, recreation/socialization, assistance with aids and appliances, and specialized services. Specialized services are provided under a contract with the Pennsylvania Association for the Blind “to assist consumers whom are blind or visually impaired to live as independently as possible in the community”. These services include counseling and guidance, chore services, transportation and escort, support services and life skills education. Eye Glass Program:

The Venango County Association for the Blind also has an Eye Glass Program that helps pay for eye glasses. To qualify the individual must meet financial and medical guidelines. An application must be filled out and guidelines met to qualify for this program. There is also a donation box at our office to collect old eye glasses for the Cranberry Lion's Club. Feel Free to stop in during business hours to drop off your old glasses!

VISION BOWL 2025 AFTERMOVIE!!! Thanks to everyone who came out for a fun and magical night! Special thanks to our first ever Platinum Sponsor and 10-Year Sponsor: Polish National Alliance #905! Thanks to Gold Sponsors: Klapec Auto Body, 4 Your Car Connection, UPMC Northwest, Pilot Club of Pittsburgh, and Hometown Hype! Thanks to Seneca Lanes for hosting another amazing event. Vision Bowl isn't just a night of bowling, or an aimless fundraiser. This year, the proceeds are directed towards Assistive Technologies (AT), which we displayed and demonstrated for Vision Bowlers. AT helps our clients and friends with blindness and visual impairment navigate day-to-day life or accomplish specific tasks with more ease.

In this video: The exterior of Seneca Lanes fades into the Vision Bowl 2025 Logo, then right into bowlers having fun throwing strikes, laughing, and enjoying each others' company. There are various clips of people bowling, filmed from different angles. Our clients and friends bowl, sometimes assisted by our VCAB staff or volunteers. Krysta makes several announcements, and Mara demonstrates AT for the event attendees. Awards are handed out to several teams and sponsors and then the video ends as the music fades out.
