Today’s photo features Industries of the Blind at 920 West Gate City Boulevard. It was taken this past week on a rainy day at the southwest corner of the building. 1933 was the first year that a work program was organized in North Carolina for people who are blind or visually impaired. The spirit of the organization is to focus on what their employees can do and ensure that their employees earn a living wage. The organization does contract , manufacturing, packaging, assembly, and distribution of products. Largely, the products are janitorial supplies and pens. Here is the website if you are interested in learning more about the organization. How wonderful that Industries of the Blind has been helping its employees remain financially independent for almost ninety years. The building may look plain and understated, but to many, it feels like home! Happy Thursday!
