“Moving forward in 2023, Step One Team is sharing the story, volunteering and bringing awareness to incredible people, organizations that are making an impact every day. Every month, we feature, interview and volunteer at different non-profit groups and are proud to announce that Savannah Center for Blind and Low Vision is our March Local Hero,” adds Ciric. “The SCBLV team is a group of incredible people, committed to helping people and making a huge difference in their lives. We had a chance to work with them and volunteer for the center and see how dedicated they are.
