More About LightHouse

Founded in San Francisco in 1902 originally as a Reading Room for the Blind, LightHouse for the Blind and Visually Impaired has since evolved into a multifaceted non-profit organization with a mission to promote the independence, equality, and employment of people who are blind or visually impaired by people who are blind or visually impaired.

In early 2020, LightHouse began moving into our new manufacturing facility, the Sirkin Center, in the Bay Farms neighborhood of Alameda. Then, in June of 2020, while most people were quarantined at home, the blind and low vision community came to work, producing eco-friendly cleaning products to help keep our homes and community buildings safe, clean, and prevent the spread of COVID-19. LightHouse has been awarded the EPA Safer Choice Award in 2021 and 2022 for the products we produce in house at the Sirkin Center. Additionally, these products have been added to the federal government's AbilityOne Procurement List, which not only helps to support the production of products and services by LightHouse's BVI community, but positively impacts the safety and sustainability of our environment as well.
