The National Federation of the Blind of Colorado (NFBCO), Colorado’s oldest and largest organized group of blind people has worked since 1955 to make positive change in the lives of blind people.  From teaching the simple how to’s of life to creating greater opportunity for employment, education, technology access, transportation and more. NFBCO makes a difference in the lives of blind and visually impaired people every day.  We are excited to be coming to Grand Junction and we want to meet YOU!

What will we do?
During our first informational meeting we will discuss the NFB of Colorado as well as other blindness related resources, answer questions, and do lots of networking.  Of course there will be FREE FOOD!
