New Yorkers who are blind, visually impaired, physically disabled
or have a learning disability. We are proud to have opened up

This is an exciting yet challenging time for all of us
at RFB&D as the demand for our services and the number
of members continues to increase. Last year our 230 volunteers
donated over 18,000 hours of service and recorded 250 textbooks.
Our CV Starr Learning Through Listening® Library now
contains more than 110,000 titles. Through our educational
outreach program we currently work with 135 member schools
in New York City and Nassau County servicing over 4,000
students in all grade levels.
If you are interested in learning more about us or want
to volunteer, please give us a call. We look forward to
hearing from you.
