Mission Statement
The mission of Delta Gamma Center (DGC) is to help children who are blind or visually impaired reach their full potential through family-centered, specialized services, and community support.
About This Cause
Support provides educational, developmental, therapeutic, and recreational services to children from birth through high school and their families, as they seek to live a life without limits from vision loss. Services are provided in the home, in the community, and at DGC to Missouri and Illinois families within a 50-mile radius of our Richmond Heights Center. Your support helps provide: • Educational, therapeutic, development, and recreational services for children from birth through high school; • Group activities for school-age children to develop independence and social skills and encourage them to engage in the community; • Family support to help families struggling with issues related to their child's visual impairment as well as other challenges and needs for resources; and • Vision screenings for young children in Missouri and Illinois. Over 70% of Delta Gamma Center's annual budget depends on community support. Testimonials "We learned one of the most important things that we would ever learn in raising a blind child. We learned that he needed to know he was loved like every other child. Also, we needed to allow him to experience everything he could. That we should not filter out things that we didn't think he could do. Let him try things. Let him feel things, play in puddles, in the mud." - Ron, the proud father of a young man who grew up with services provided by DGC and is now a college graduate. "DGC has given something to our daughter that she gets nowhere else - hope, confidence and tangible skills in areas of high interest. We really appreciate how DGC is equipping her with the skills she needs to be a successful, self-confident and adventurous young woman." - Donna and Keith, parents of a teenager who started services from DGC as a toddler.
