See the Impact. Feel the Mission.

Whether you’re a donor, corporate partner, educator, or community member, a tour of our facility offers a firsthand look at how we’re helping blind and low-vision individuals build confidence, develop skills, and live independently.

We also welcome the opportunity to host community groups or corporate teams for networking events, professional meetups, or lunch-and-learn sessions in our accessible space.
