Donate or Volunteer
White Cane training begins in our offices, then we train our clients to safely navigate the areas where they live.
The Lighthouse is grateful for your individual donations and gifts-in-kind. These gifts have helped pay for training and services needed by people who are visually impaired and blind to develop independent living skills. As the Lighthouse expands its program to include employment services, the need for donations is more urgent.
Please continue to send in your donations, and if you are able to share more deeply in our mission, please join The Friends of the Lighthouse Annual Giving Program or make arrangements for a planned gift through The Lighthouse Legacy Society.
