Valley Eye Radio is proud to broadcast our reading of the weekly publication insert by LifePath that appears every Saturday in the Weekend (Greenfield) Recorder.

Our friends at Valley Community Development are excited to share about their Barriers to Insurability Grant Program, made possible by a $200,000 grant from the TD Charitable Foundation as part of their “Housing for Everyone” initiative.

This program provides grants of up to $15,000 to help low-and moderate-income homeowners complete essential repairs required by their homeowners’ insurance companies. With rising repair costs, many families and seniors risk losing coverage. This initiative helps preserve homeownership by addressing urgent repair needs, reducing defaults, and keeping families insured.

In addition to repair funding, homeowners will receive post-purchase counseling and budget planning support to help them stay insured and better prepare for future maintenance needs.

As April is Volunteer Appreciation Month, we appreciated the excuse (as if we needed one!) to highlight the dedicated work of our volunteer reader family.

We have close to 100 volunteers producing the audio recordings that our eligible listeners can hear every day, 24/7.

We can't say THANK YOU enough to all of our volunteers. We literally couldn't do it without you.

She's at it again, spreading the word about Valley Eye Radio!

Today, our Executive Director, Chloe Collins, was at the Hadley Council on Aging (HCOA) & Senior Center's Annual Health Fair.

It was another welcome opportunity to reach the general public with our message of accessible free broadcasts for those unable to read print material for themselves.
