Donations
The Low Vision Council is a donation-based organization so financial support from friends is crucial to continue to provide assistance to the Low Vision underserved. CCTV’s that allow a senior to do simple tasks such as read their mail or newspaper can cost $3,000 to $4,000. In most cases this is a cost that a person on a fixed income, or a family in the poor or low income category cannot afford. Your generous donation can make that difference for those in need. Please join us by calling 714.992.7835, E-mail us at lowvisioncouncil@scco.edu or write to the address listed below. A council member will contact you right away.
