West TX Lighthouse For The Blind

Our Mission

The West Texas Lighthouse for the Blind empowers individuals with vision loss through on-the-job training, education, and employment opportunities. We champion independence, self-reliance, and full community participation for blind and visually impaired West Texans.

Who We Are

Founded in 1963, the West Texas Lighthouse for the Blind is a leading manufacturing and training facility in San Angelo, Texas. We employ over 60 dedicated individuals who are blind or have severely impaired vision. We utilize innovative technology and supportive practices to empower our team to achieve meaningful work and personal growth.

What We Do

Our diverse team produces a wide range of high-quality products, including writing instruments, safety gear, office supplies, and more. Each product is crafted with meticulous care and attention to detail by our skilled employees. We also offer custom-designed lanyards and badge holders through our online store, LanyardsXpress.com.

Our Impact

The West Texas Lighthouse for the Blind makes a profound impact on the lives of individuals with vision loss. We:

• Create meaningful employment opportunities: Over 90% of our employees are legally blind, and many had previously struggled to find stable work.
• Empower individuals: Our training programs and supportive environment foster independence and self-reliance.
• Develop innovative products: We constantly expand our product line to offer unique and practical solutions for diverse needs.
• Give back to the community: Every purchase and donation supports our mission and empowers blind individuals to reach their full potential.
