There are 2 auxiliaries supporting the work of Pittsburgh Vision Services. St. Lucy's
Auxiliary to the Blind was founded in 1957 to provide assistance to the Greater
Pittsburgh
Guild for the Blind. In 1961, the Auxiliary was founded to aid Pittsburgh Blind
Association. Since 1997 both organizations have continued their service to Blind and Vision Rehabilitation Services of Pittsburgh.

The Auxiliary, Blind & Vision Rehabilitaion Services of Pittsburgh
|
Auxiliary members provide direct volunteer service, serving as readers,
shoppers and escorts for persons who are blind or visually impaired. They help with
mailings, clerical work, fund raising activities, and preschool vision screening. |
St. Lucy's Auxiliary
|
St. Lucy's efforts provide financial assistance primarily by sponsoring the Medallion
Ball. Although the event is under
the patronage of the Bishop of the Catholic Diocese of Pittsburgh, it is open to all young
ladies who have made valuable contributions to their community through their unselfish
efforts in performing many hours of volunteer service. Each participant is honored by
receiving the Joan of Arc Medallion.
