Yorktown officials attended a groundbreaking ceremony on Thursday for Guiding Eyes for the Blind’s new Wellness & Training Center.

Guiding Eyes for the Blind provides guide dogs to people with vision loss.

"Their dedication to fostering independence and enhancing lives is truly inspiring, and we're proud to support their continued growth right here in our community."
