White Cane Bank
Thanks to a generous donation from Help For The Blind of Eastern Connecticut, the National Federation of the Blind of Connecticut has been able to revitalize the "White Cane Bank". If any blind individual needs a new long white cane or if a blind child needs to exchange his/her white cane for a longer one, please call our community outreach office at 860-289-1971.
