The National Federation of the Blind of Maryland has established an affiliate COVID-19 fund to assist individuals and families that are experiencing financial hardship during the COVID-19 crisis. This fund is available to blind individuals and families with a blind household member living in Maryland. The financial assistance must be needed due to a change in circumstance, e.g. loss of employment income, because of COVID-19 or associated government directives like the Stay-at-Home order. Assistance is limited to essentials such as groceries and medication. This Fund is being administered by the NFBMD Financial Assistance Committee.
Anyone wishing to request assistance should email President@nfbmd.org or call 443-426-4110.
In addition, NFBMD is seeking contributions to augment the NFBMD COVID-19 Emergency Response Fund. Those interested in making a tax deductible monetary donation may do so by using the Paypal button below or by mailing a check to:
