Giving back is meaningful. Here, Rose and Aaron unpack a newly-delivered box at the food bank. D carries a box, while IFCS staffer Tara brings over a cart stacked with cartons. Eliza and Greg shelve items from the cart for later distribution. Our students and staff volunteer once a month at nearby IFCS, and every month a different group makes the trip.
Yes, every December we ask for your support for our programs that teach innovative and challenging blindness skills, imbue our students with a belief in themselves as Blind people, and build the confidence to pursue their dreams. We believe in Blind people, but we also believe in Blind people giving back.

We know that blind people can do anything, and that includes creating and enjoying art. It just needs to be tactilely accessible to us. Since 2014, we've partnered with Arapahoe Community Colloege's Dept. of Art and Design in an art show that does just that. It's the entire Colorado Gallery of the Arts filled with art pieces that not only permit, but require that you put your hands on them! All are made by ACC students or CCB students and staff.
