About This Cause
VisionLink, a private, not-for-profit, 501(c)(3) organization, promotes self-esteem, independence and self-determination in people who are blind or visually impaired. VisionLink accomplishes this by providing support through education, training and resources, as well as through community action and public education, serving as a voice and advocate for the rights of all people who are blind and visually impaired. VisionLink’s roots date to 1874 when the Pennsylvania Working Home for Blind Men opened. For more than 100 years, the entity continued on through a series of mergers and recast itself many times until it became Associated Services for the Blind and Visually Impaired (ASB) in 1983. On February 1, 2022, the organization was rebranded as VisionLink to better reflect its role as a bridge and connection to community resources, educational and enrichment programming, and local providers; the role it plays in strengthening an individual’s access to care and supportive services when facing vision loss; and its commitment to creating a more accessible city and region.
