The Foundation supports the Meals on Wheels program and other services to benefit needy Village residents. With a bequest made in the memory of Dr. Adelyn Bonin, a village resident, this special program was started over a year ago and is located at Braille Institute which is less than a mile from the Village at 24411 Ridge Route Drive, Suite 110, Laguna Hills, and can be reached at 949-330-5062. Braille Institute’s Laguna Hills Neighborhood Center offers one-on-one low vision consultations, small group classes, and in-home training, all designed to help people with low vision continue to live well. The pilot project proved so successful in helping residents purchase magnifiers, canes, and specialized lighting, the Foundation decided to continue it. Braille Institute will apply to the Foundation on behalf of residents who are deemed financially needy to help them live independently. All requests for assistance will be confidential with the identity of recipients shielded.
In addition, with the bequest funds, the Foundation recently provided additional funding to the Village Library to purchase large print paperback books, another means of helping residents with vision needs, since these books have proved very popular.
It is the goal of the Foundation to continue meeting the needs of residents. If you are aware of a need in the Village that is not currently being met, please contact the Foundation at foundation@comline.com or 949-268-2246.
