What We Do

Our committee members work hand in hand with Guide Dogs of America leadership to promote and support the organization in any way possible.

We work with our locals to identify members of our district and those in our local communities who are in need of a Guide Dog and then work with them and support them through the process of obtaining a guide dog and the training necessary to successfully navigate everyday life with their new, most trusted companion!
