This information has been shared by our friends at Lions Vision Services in South Carolina and is presented here as a public service for our local blind and low vision friends:
Free COVID-19 rapid tests for people who are blind or low vision now available! Limited supply!
USPS is distributing free rapid antigen COVID-19 at-home tests, including more accessible tests. Share this news with those you know needing access to testing!
If you are a person who is blind or low vision, you can order one set of 2 free, more accessible at-home tests from USPS.com (while supplies last). Here's what you need to know about ordering:
• Your order will include 2 rapid antigen COVID-19 tests that are more accessible for people who are blind or low vision
• Supplies of more accessible tests are limited. Please only order the more accessible tests if you do not have other options for using the standard COVID-19 tests
• Tests require you to use a compatible, Bluetooth-enabled smartphone, as well as download and install an app from the App Store (for iOS) or Google Play (for Android)
As we prepare to begin a new Lion Year we pause to reflect on some of the successes of the year just ending. Thanks to the leadership of 2021-22 Pres. Connie Emmons and her team, Tri-County Lions has continued to serve the people of this community, the region, and the world, averaging more than 3 service projects per month!
If you'd like to volunteer to serve our community and the world, simply download a membership application from the Home page on this site, and bring it to the upcoming meeting July 11, 6-m, at the Gondolier Restaurant. We will get you involved!
