Welcome to the National Federation of the Blind of Oregon

We advance the lives of our members and all blind people across the state. We know that blindness is not the characteristic that defines you or your future. Everyday we raise the expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles between blind people and our dreams. Our collective power, determination, and diversity achieve the aspirations of all blind people.

Tools for Independence

For over twenty years, we and the American Action Fund for Blind Children and Adults have provided long white canes and slates and styluses free of charge to anyone in the United States who requests them. We believe that these tools help increase independence for blind and low-vision people.
