The donation will support the agency’s mission to facilitate independence, enrich the quality of life, and empower individuals who are visually impaired or otherwise disabled through prevention, employment, and educational awareness programs.

“For a century, Vision Resources of Central Pennsylvania has provided services for blind and visually impaired individuals, many of whom have few choices for access to assistance,” F&M Trust President and CEO Tim Henry said. “F&M Trust is proud to support the agency as it remains committed to fulfilling its mission and to treating clients with dignity and respect.”

The bank’s contribution will support three of the agency’s fundraising events in 2024: Visions of Monte Carlo in April, Vision Bowl in July, and An Evening in the Shadows in November.

“Our annual events are not only fundraising opportunities, but also raise awareness of low vision, blindness, and all of our services to Central Pennsylvania. Two of these events allow the guests a first-hand experience of the challenges faced daily by our clients,” Vision Resources of Central Pennsylvania CEO Cheryl Cuddy said. “We are grateful for the continued support of F&M Trust in helping to carry our message further.”
