Volunteer Appreciation

Volunteers are making a big difference in the lives of children, k-12 students and adults across Utah. In this newsletter, we are thrilled to showcase the importance and value of volunteerism and spotlight some of Friends for Sight’s most dedicated volunteers. Some of whom have even given over 25 years of service to identifying kids who may need glasses and prevent vision loss due to vision issues like amblyopia. Join us in celebrating these inspiring individuals!
