About the Missouri Council of the Blind

Founded in 1956, the Missouri Council of the Blind is Missouri's premier advocacy organization for blind and visually impaired residents — affiliated with the American Council of the Blind and dedicated to independence, equality, and opportunity.

From our governing documents and leadership to our statewide network of local affiliates and 28 active committees, everything MCB does flows from a single conviction: blind and visually impaired Missourians deserve full participation in every aspect of community life.
