The Lighthouse for the Blind, Inc. is among the largest employers in the United States of individuals who are blind and the foremost employer of people who are Deaf-Blind.
In addition to the revenue of our successful manufacturing, Base Supply Centers, and service businesses, we rely on the community to partner with us to support mission-related costs crucial to provide the support and skills necessary for our employees to succeed.
Our efforts respond to a critical need. Seven out of every ten working-age adults who are blind are unemployed.
Of adults who are Deaf-Blind, eight out of ten are unemployed.
And nine out of every ten adults are unemployed who are blind with an additional disability.
One-third of adults who are blind live in poverty.
