Less than a mile north of the DRS Center on South Patrick you will find the Brevard Association for the Advancement of the Blind. (BAAB)
Incorporated in 1966 BAAB provides services for people who are visually impaired, blind and legally blind. Our vision may become impaired as we age, just another thing for us to deal with in our golden years!
BAAB is there to help! They offer a Program for Independent Living (PIL) where they teach the visually challenged how to cope with every day chores so they may lead an independent, fulfilling life. They also record magazines for the Library of Congress’ National Library Service for the Blind and Print Disabled.
BAAB is always looking for volunteers especially people with grant writing skills or to assist with their annual fund raisers, Sprint for Sight and Light Among the Shadows. This organization offers a much needed service for so many, please check them out; you may find it to be a win/win situation.
