RSVP News!
Thanks to the generous support of the United Way of Daviess County, RSVP is thrilled to announce a new program! In May of this year, we were notified that we had been awarded a 4Community2 Grant to fund an Adult Vision Screening program. RSVP volunteers currently screen 1500 children annually for vision problems, and we will now be able to screen the adult population for glaucoma, cataracts, macular degeneration and visual accuity. The grant has funded the purchase of two professional grade machines for testing vision, training, and supplies. Volunteers will be trained by the fine folks at Prevent Blindness Indiana and our program should be up and running in the fall. We'll be offering free screenings throughout Daviess County. Watch for more details and be sure to take advantage of this program. There is nothing more precious than the gift of sight! |
