Become a Patron

Any person living in Peoria, Tazewell, and Woodford Counties can become a patron of the CICBVI. While our transportation services are limited to a specified mile radius from the Center, we encourage participation by people who are blind or visually impaired in and around the greater Peoria area.

Some of the benefits of patronage are:

  • Eligible to receive one free white cane per calendar year
  • Participation in events such as concerts and sporting events at reduced cost or free (includes free transportation to and from Center-sponsored event)
  • One free Open House meal, transportation, and BINGO game per month
  • Kroger gift card program
  • Service animal gift card program
  • Independent living aid gift card program

We invite Patrons and community members to participate in weekly meals, jam sessions, and other special events printed in the newsletter. To sign up for our monthly newsletter, visit the Newsletter page.
