Big Give: Help us raise $20,000
The San Antonio Lighthouse is thrilled to be participating in the Big Give with the goal of raising $20,000 for a Center for Independence.

The center will be set up as an ideal home environment to optimize independence for someone coping with vision loss. Features will include a modified kitchen and cooking tools, lighting options to maximize remaining vision, contrasting color schemes, modified entryways and textured flooring.

Early giving is in full swing now! To maximize your gift, be ready to give during our Match Minute opportunities on Sept. 23 at 10:09 a.m. and 11:09 a.m. Donations of up to $200 have the opportunity to be matched during those two minutes. We recommend having your donation ready to submit when the clock strikes the :09 minute mark.
Thank you for empowering people who are blind and vision impaired!

Meet the Board: Elizabeth Kendell

Why do you serve on the San Antonio Lighthouse Board?

With my professional experience in the realm of disability employment with the State of Texas Vocational Rehabilitation, H-E-B, and now thredUP, I have a passion and appreciation for the Lighthouse’s strategy to embed inclusion of people with visual differences into employment culture not only at the Lighthouse but with employers in the community.
