HUMANITY of Central Illinois
The ISPB is proud to support the VISION FOR HUMANITY of Central
Illinois. The program provides vision examinations and eyeglasses for
economically disadvantaged men, women and children.
The Catholic Charities Community Services in Springfield registers and
screens applicants and administers the coordination of the clinics. Twelve
optometrists and five ophthalmologists support this special program.
 From January 1 through December 31, 2003, 1,449 of the 1,515 eligible
registered participants were provided with eyeglasses. During this time,
46 percent of those served were children.The ISPB will help to supplement
payment for the lens grinding expenses incurred.
