We help people get jobs, regain their independence, and challenge expectations of the capabilities of people with disabilities. Even as a century-old nonprofit, we're constantly evolving to better serve our community.
Our manufacturing department employs blind, sighted, and low-vision individuals to produce items like paper cups, mess trays, and paper plates. The sale of these items supports our services, which are free to the consumer.
Many of the items we produce are sold to the United States Government, and are used by US troops around the world.
Locally, the Lighthouse helps youth and adults make the most of their remaining vision; find a job; build computer skills; use tools to manage their daily lives; and build a network of support for increased quality of life.
We also provide professional American Sign Language interpreting and connect people who are Deaf or Hard of Hearing with equipment and resources.
