In 2019, we relocated from Galen Wilson to the new Pasco Lighthouse. Since that time, we have slowly replaced aging equipment and have added many features to make the building more accessible and more conducive to providing a wider range of services, however we still have a ways to go. In 2022-2023, over 1,300 people who are visually impaired and blind, their families, professionals, the general public, and local employers benefited from Lighthouse programs. We are helping even more people than before, but we need help from the community to finish the building and meet the need for services.

The list is very diverse and includes things like toys, art supplies, educational games, small appliances, gift certificates for services, office supplies, silent auction prizes, and donations for our buildings in New Port Richey and Brooksville. Your monetary and gift-in-kind donations help us serve more people.
