SAVI has blind, visually impaired and sighted members from northwestern KY including the counties of Daviess, Ohio and Henderson.

About Us

The Support Alliance of the Visually Impaired (SAVI) is a 501(c)3 nonprofit which promotes public awareness about visual impairment and blindness. SAVI is a major local resource for blind and low vision adults and their families in the Owensboro/Henderson area.

Visually impaired adults and/or their family members from the Owensboro/Hendrson area are invited to participate in SAVI’s monthly meetings, special workshops and outings. Our regular monthly meetings are held on the second Tuesday of the month from 1-3 PM (central) at Wesleyan Heights United Methodist Church at 1215 Scherm Road in Owensboro. We also make most of our meetings available on Zoom so you can participate anywhere using your phone, computer or tablet. (Please note that meeting time and location mayoccasionally change, so check our calendar or call 270-684-4418 for the most up-to-date information, including Zoom login.) Past meeting topics have included local transportation providers, effective lighting, emergency preparedness, accessible prescription labels, diabetes, accessible voting, Smart911, technology demonstrations, and more.

We are planning lots of activities in 2024 including bowling, workshops, dine outs and more. In addition, our Blindfold Bowling Tournament and Fundraiser is tentatively scheduled for September 28-29, 2024.

SAVI began with small group meetings in early 2013 and has shown steady growth since that time. The group registered with the Kentucky Secretary of State in August 2014, received its charter as a chapter of the Kentucky Council of the Blind in November 2014 and received its 501(c)3 letter recognizing it as a charitable nonprofit (retroactive to August 2014) in November 2016. The Kentucky Council of the Blind is the state affiliate of the American Council of the Blind.
