In the holiday spirit of giving back, our Associate Board annually funds a winter warmth effort providing warm and stylish coats and accessories to Lighthouse employees and program participants. This year, several coats were donated to participants of our Adult Living Skills Program, which provides life skills training for adults who are blind or visually impaired with developmental disabilities, as well as many employees in various areas of The Lighthouse. We are so grateful for the generosity of our Associate Board in spreading warmth year after year! For photos, visit http://glassdoor.com/slink.htm?key=vMUCt
