ACBVI’s Food Program is at Risk

Imagine suddenly losing your vision—whether from an accident, illness, or trauma. For adults who become blind, everything changes. Many face tough challenges rebuilding their lives and food insecurity is a daily struggle. Recent cuts to SNAP benefits are making it even harder, and more of our clients are depending on ACBVI for meals and food.

At ACBVI, we support the whole person. Our goal is to help adults that are blind regain independence and return to work. We address their physical, emotional, and practical needs, including access to nutritious meals. For many, meals are the first step toward rebuilding their lives and achieving their goals.

ACBVI provides:

• Two hot meals a day at our center
• To-go dinners for evenings
• A food pantry so clients have food even when they aren’t with us

Like you, we’ve felt the impact of rising food prices — only for our clients, the stakes are even higher. We’re still receiving donated food, but much of it lacks the nutrition our clients need. It’s hard to prepare healthy, balanced meals when most of what’s available is chips, cookies, and other processed items. At the same time, the fresh, nourishing food we purchase now costs more than ever. Will you send a gift today to help us continue providing balanced meals to those who need them most?

Thanks to early supporters, we’ve already achieved more than 30% of our goal — and now we’re working to close the gap. But we still need you.

Every gift makes a difference:

• $25 = 10 meals
• $50 = 20 meals
• $100 = 40 meals

Your Gift = A Hot Meal
