Our mission
“Working together to support Hadley’s mission, empowering those with vision loss.”
The Hadley Woman’s Board proudly supports Hadley in its mission to provide both practical and social/emotional help to older adults adjusting to vision loss, empowering them to adapt and thrive.
By raising funds and awareness, we help make it possible for Hadley to offer all of its programs and services free of charge.
