A Year in Review: Milestones, Memories, and Momentum
This past year, VIPS served 786 families, the most children we have ever served in our 40-year history, across Kentucky and Indiana, providing Critical Vision Interventions and Parental Support to infants, toddlers, and preschoolers who are blind or have low vision.
Our dedicated team traveled 204,940 miles, enough to circle the Earth over eight times, bringing services directly into homes. Through 4,467 visits and 29,500 hours of face-to-face time with children, our staff helped families build skills and confidence to navigate daily life with low vision.
Throughout the Impact Report, you’ll see the progress that marks our agency’s growth, the memories of graduates and families who remind us why this work matters, and the momentum carrying VIPS into the future. We are honored to share our legacy with you and look forward to your continued support in our critical mission.
How do we use your donation?
At VIPS, every dollar makes a meaningful impact. Your donation supports vital program services, empowering our teachers to work directly with children who are blind or have low vision and their families. Whether it’s a teacher traveling to a child’s home in Kentucky or Indiana for early intervention visits, or one guiding learning in our Kids Town Preschool classroom, your generosity fuels life-changing programs. Your support ensures we can continue our mission with transparency, accountability, and a heartfelt commitment to those we serve. Thank you for making a difference!
