Attention!
Change in COVE’s Operating Hours

Federal and State funding for services for the Blind and Visually Impaired have been drastically reduced.
This is causing COVE to have to cut back with some of its services, including staffing hours.

Beginning October 1, 2026, COVE will be closed on Fridays, reducing open hours to Monday – Thursday from 8:30am – 3:00pm.

If you are currently receiving training at COVE on Fridays, your trainer will be contacting you regarding any possible schedule changes.

Thank you for your understanding.
