" Why don't those people get a job and get off welfare?"
How many times have you heard, thought, or said something like this about someone on public assistance? At Lions Volunteer Blind Industries for the last 50 years we have had people who are doing just that-getting up every morning, going to work, supporting a family, buying a home, paying taxes, being an asset to the community. While many of LVBI's blind workers meet or exceed expected standards for job performance, there are others who are striving to meet these goals in spite of multiple disabilities. LVBI's "Project Paycheck" giving program helps those workers through an Employment Scholarship, which pays a living wage as they learn to earn. All donations into this fund go directly to eligible blind workers in the form of scholarship wages. LVBI is a 501 (C) 3 not-for-profit organization, and as such, all donations are tax deductible.
"It is important to me to have something to do, to have a place to be, to be wanted." Employee quote
