NFB Free White Cane Program

NFB Free White Cane Program (National Federation of the Blind) — Free (seen Oct 2026)

If cost is the barrier, this removes it: the NFB has given away free white canes for over twenty years to any blind or low-vision person in the U.S. What you get is a straight rigid fiberglass cane — the best tactile feedback of any cane type, though it doesn't fold, so it's not a commuter's travel cane. You can request one every six months, which also makes it a smart way to keep a spare. Pair it with orientation-and-mobility training from a certified instructor and you're genuinely equipped.
