Located in Fresno, Valley Center for the Blind has been providing services for the blind and visually impaired since 1973. What started as an idea for social and recreational services for the blind has grown into something so much more….and we are proud of it! VCB offers classes and resources for Fresno and the surrounding Madera, Kings and Tulare counties. Our staff is comprised of people who have a love for the Central Valley and a passion for helping those with vision loss. Always keeping up on the latest trends and technology for the visually impaired, we strive to keep our classes current and events fun. Losing sight doesn’t mean losing hope. Here at VCB we hope to help you see it that way too!
