Our mission.
“Working together to support Hadley’s mission, empowering those with vision loss.”
The Hadley Woman’s Board exists to support Hadley’s work: practical help and emotional support for people adjusting to vision loss, offered free of charge, online, by phone and by mail.*
We raise the money that keeps it free. Since 1953 the board’s members have done that together, through the braille holiday card sale, the annual Benefit and the events of the year, and every dollar goes to Hadley’s programs.
Where the money goes.
Every dollar the board raises supports Hadley’s free programs, delivered online, by phone and by mail at no cost.*
Workshops.
Practical, self-paced lessons on living with vision loss.
Discussion groups.
Peers who understand, by phone and online.

Conversations and guidance to listen to anywhere.
One-on-one help.
Personal help by phone, one caller at a time.
