On February 15, 2014, from 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m., the NFB will be hosting a Service Saturday in which we will prepare materials for specific programs to empower blind Americans across the country. Your "heart work" this Valentine's weekend will undoubtedly bring the hopes and dreams of blind Americans to fruition.

We need your help with preparing packages to send Braille books to young blind children, preparing Braille story book kits, creating Braille birthday cards, and with other various tasks. Volunteers will also have the opportunity to learn some Braille, have all of their questions about blindness answered, and meet other service-oriented people.
