Support includes a monthly meeting, awareness and social activities. Meetings are held on the second Saturday of each month from 1:30 PM - 3:30 PM where different topics are discussed at each meeting to focus on the philosophical and practical aspects of blindness. A 50/50 raffle and incrementally increasing attendance incentive take place each month, and chapter auctions completed with an auctioneer are held at meetings two times each year. Guest speakers who present on issues affecting the blind are often featured.
Active social media pages are maintained on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.
