    A big thank you to Goodwill Industries of San Antonio for visiting Vibrant Works today! During their tour, they participated in blindness sensitivity training, where they learned sighted guide techniques and had the opportunity to experience a meal while wearing blindfolds. We enjoyed sharing more about our mission and the meaningful work we do to empower people with vision loss. Thank you for your support! 💙

  • This week, we celebrated World Braille Day, observed annually on Jan. 4, with special events at our Roosevelt and Eads locations! During lunchtime, employees had the opportunity to explore the world of Braille through interactive displays, activities, and even win some fun prizes! 👏 Attendees enjoyed discovering Braille books and devices, learning how Braille empowers individuals with vision loss, getting their names printed in Braille, and taking home Braille alphabet cards. Thank you to everyone who joined us in honoring the legacy of Braille and its importance in promoting accessibility and independence!💙 #WorldBrailleDay #VibrantWorks #Accessibility #Braille
