Allied Workers for the Blind is based in Kansas City, MO. We are a member of the American Council of the Blind and an affiliate of the Missouri Council of the Blind.
Allied Workers for the Blind is an organization dedicated to improving the lives of the blind and visually challenged in the Greater Kansas City, MO area.
AWB meetings are held by conference call during this pandemic, on
the second Saturday of the month, with the exception of July and August. You are welcome to attend with friends and family members.
Sign our guestbook and tell us how you heard about our organization and our events.
Our meetings were traditionally held at the Alphapointe Association for the Blind, 75th & Prospect on the second Saturday of every month (except July and August). Meetings were sometimes held offsite, as well.
Pre-pandemic we took a lot of "field trips". Our members enjoyed socializing and enjoying events around the City. We hope to do so again when it is safe!
We are always looking for dynamic and informative guest speakers! Our goal is to have speakers who will educate our members about how they impact and improve the visually challenged community.
Membership is open. We want to hear from you! E-mail us or call us:

Our organization is keeping our members safe by not having public meetings and events during this pandemic. We look forward to resuming a full, productive, and active schedule once it is over.
We are still working for the visually-challenged community and welcome new members.
