Thanks so much for writing about the Creative Expressions class!

Visions is a nonprofit social service and vision rehabilitation agency that provides free services to people of all ages who are legally blind or visually impaired. As you noted, there are lots of volunteer opportunities available directly through Visions (but at the present time Creative Expressions is open only NY Cares volunteers).

Yes, my co-team leader and I are more than happy to answer any questions concerning the project or the location of sought-after supplies! That said, we do realize that the room needs an organizaton overhaul in order to make everything more accessible to volunteers and students. For that reason we scheduled an organization session (a project also available through NY Cares–see “Art Supply Clean-Up Day at Visions”) for Tuesday, June 30. We have lots of boxes of materials in use, and now need to go through some unexpected (but very welcome) boxes of donations. Hopefully the next time you volunteer with us you will find an activity room that is much easier to navigate!

Thanks again,
F
