A Year in Review: Milestones, Memories, and Momentum

This past year, VIPS served 786 families, the most children we have ever served in our 40-year history, across Kentucky and Indiana, providing Critical Vision Interventions and Parental Support to infants, toddlers, and preschoolers who are blind or have low vision.

Our dedicated team traveled 204,940 miles, enough to circle the Earth over eight times, bringing services directly into homes. Through 4,467 visits and 29,500 hours of face-to-face time with children, our staff helped families build skills and confidence to navigate daily life with low vision.

Throughout the Impact Report, you’ll see the progress that marks our agency’s growth, the memories of graduates and families who remind us why this work matters, and the momentum carrying VIPS into the future. We are honored to share our legacy with you and look forward to your continued support in our critical mission.
