Lighthouse for the Blind of the Palm Beaches Featured in Boca Magazine
We are honored to announce that Boca Magazine has featured Lighthouse for the Blind of the Palm Beaches in its February 2025 edition! In an insightful Q&A, our Executive Director, Lisa Stella, shared valuable insights into our mission, the impact of our services, and how the community can better support individuals with visual impairments.
Why is Lighthouse for the Blind so Important?
Since 1946, Lighthouse for the Blind of the Palm Beaches has been a beacon of hope for individuals with visual impairments, providing essential services to help them lead independent, fulfilling lives. Lisa emphasized how our programs—from mobility training to employment readiness—equip people with the skills they need to thrive.
How Does Lighthouse Support the Community?
Our work doesn’t just benefit individuals; it strengthens the entire community. By helping people with visual impairments become more independent, they can fully participate in society, work, and contribute to their families and local businesses.
Dispelling Myths About Blindness
One of the biggest challenges is overcoming misconceptions. Lisa encourages people to recognize that individuals with visual impairments lead active, productive lives. By increasing awareness and fostering inclusion, we can create a more supportive and understanding world for everyone.
