Income Generation

Lack of meaningful work, along with economic hardship, is an issue for vast numbers of blind persons. Unemployment in the developed world may be about 75%1, and is likely much higher in developing nations.

We offer several services by the blind in the Knoxville, TN area:
  • Kitting: Sorting and packaging multiple, small, different items into one container (e.g., hardware kits with screws and rivets).
  • Light manufacturing: Assembly of products, including, but not limited to, small parts for industrial use.
  • Labeling: Affixing barcodes or product information labels to items.
  • E-cycling: Scrapping/recycling of laptop and desktop computers.
  • Wood product sanding: finish smoothing by hand of crafted items.

Please contact us if you or your company could benefit from one of these services, or if you know of a visually-impaired person who might need this sort of work.
