Approximately 70% of people with severe vision loss or other physical disabilities are unemployed. For many, lack of desire, motivation, or the ability to work is not the problem; finding a safe and suitable work opportunity is.
Beaver County Association for the Blind seeks business opportunities where blind and disabled individuals can be employed; not only working toward the goal of achieving independence, but even giving back the community.
Currently the Beaver County Association for the Blind operates 2 interstate highway rest areas in the eastern part of Pennsylvania.
