Why Vision Missions Matters

Health and Nutrition Lead Coordinator
SENDCAA Head Start Birth to Five
"The Vision Mission team was amazing to work with to set up a Vision Mission for the children in our Head Start program. There was timely communication throughout the whole process and the registration forms were simple and easy for parents to complete. The day of the event, the two hour timeframe at the clinic was reserved for only our children to be seen and more than half of our 18 children seen that day had vision issues. Vision Mission helped our kids see better and continue an amazing future of learning. We look forward to working with the Vision Mission program again in the future!"
