Thank You Lighthouse Donors!

Generous community donors are vital to providing training and opportunities at The Lighthouse for the Blind, Inc. Here are just a few of the ways donors have helped to expand services and employment at the Lighthouse:

Community support helped to provide the tools and support to offer more Lighthouse employment opportunities than ever. Community donations helped enable us to hire 20 additional blind and Deaf-Blind individuals this year for a total of 185 blind and Deaf-Blind adults employed at the Lighthouse today.

Philanthropic contributions continued to help the Deaf-Blind community to thrive, enabling 41 Deaf-Blind adults to gain computer skills to achieve greater autonomy in their daily lives.

Donations also helped 140 blind and Deaf-Blind individuals to receive orientation and mobility (O & M) training this year. Charitable contributions helped to expand our O & M program and hire a third mobility instructor.

Thank you to the following generous individuals and organizations for giving a total of $234,150 between June 2nd, 2007 and September 30th, 2007 in support of Lighthouse services:
