Lighthouse For The Blind Holds Its Grand Reopening
On Thursday, June 12, 2008, Lighthouse for the Blind of the Palm Beaches opened its new facility in partnership with Gulfstream Goodwill Industries, Inc. Over 150 supporters and community partners gathered to hear the inspiring story of Goodwill International’s new President and CEO, Jim Gibbons. Also in attendance was Dave Barringer, Vice President, Member Relations, GII.
Due to financial difficulties, the old Lighthouse was unable to offer services for over two years. Under new leadership, the organization has already begun offering the services that have been greatly missed in the visually impaired community.
Lighthouse for the Blind provides Adjustment Training including Personal Management, Home Management and Communication Skills, Orientation and Mobility Training, Computer Instruction, Aids and Appliances Store, Equipment Grant Programs, Socialization Opportunities, Community Education, Information and Referral. For more information about programs and services, please call 561-586-5600.
