The Akron Blind Center, Inc., is a membership-based non-profit organization begun in 1913 and Incorporated in 1948 to serve the visually challenged communities, with fully sighted volunteers, to all levels of vision loss. We also provide resources, programs, services and classes for Summit and surrounding counties.
We provide a sense of family, belonging, purpose, hope, empowerment and accomplishment to like-challenged members, in a safe and fun learning and social environment. We are always accepting new members and volunteers, no matter what level of vision.
We are proud to have earned the Better Business Bureau Charitable Alliance seal, which is their highest honor, having met 20 of 20 stringent standards (rare nationally). This means the public can be assured we are good caretakers of donations and spending.
