Our Mission
The
Blue Ridge Independent Living Center assists people with disabilities
to live independently. The Center also serves the community at large
by helping to create an environment that is accessible to all.
The
Center, established in July 1989, is a private, non-profit community
agency with non-residential programs. Support for service is received
from state and federal sources and donations from regional businesses
and individuals. The Center is governed by a Board of Directors with a
majority of members having disabilities.
The
Center serves residents of the Fifth Planning District of Virginia
which includes the counties of Alleghany, Botetourt, Craig, Floyd,
Giles, Montgomery, Pulaski and
Roanoke and the cities of Covington, Radford, Roanoke, and Salem. |
