The Central Associate for the Blind and Visually Impaired has been a long-time in-kind sponsor for KMVB. Not only do they donate their time, they donate garbage bags, and gloves for our cleanups.
Aspiring to a greater good, Central Association for the Blind and Visually Impaired (CABVI) was founded in 1929 with a mission to assist people who are blind or visually impaired to achieve their highest levels of independence.

KMVB will align with the fundamental principle of the NYS Regional Economic Development Council: collaboration across municipal boundaries to organize, engage, and empower public and private entities to improve the environmental and economic conditions in the Mohawk Valley.
We represent Fulton, Herkimer, Montgomery, Oneida, Otsego, and Schoharie Counties.
