The mission of LCI is to provide meaningful employment for the blind and visually impaired. We accomplish this in four ways:

• BUILD: We create over 2,000 products and distribute thousands more through manufacturing, retail, nationwide distribution, and e-commerce channels.

• SUPPORT: We want to end blindness forever. To that end, we engage in philanthropic efforts for research into blindness and treatment for the visually impaired.
