Today, we wish Shawn Keen, our Assistive Technology Specialist, all the best as he moves on to another great opportunity. On Monday, Shawn will begin work at the Texas Workforce Commission as their Employment Assistance Specialist. While we will miss him, we are excited for him for this new chapter! We are grateful for his time with us and for touching so many lives through his work at the Lighthouse. Best of luck, Shawn! #lighthousefw #assistivetechnology #newbeginnings

Last week, the Lighthouse began a new partnership with Essentials360 to provide them full-cycle logistics and fulfillment services. As Tarrant County’s largest employer of people who are blind, this opportunity creates even more jobs. Employees are providing fulfillment and logistics; completing orders by packing the product in custom shipping boxes, labeling, and sending them out via UPS or FedEx, depending on the specific requirements of the order. We’ve increased space utilization in our warehouse, added new rack systems, and are planning a new building to support our growth. Our workforce will be processing tens of thousands of orders per month! #lighthousefw #essentials360 #logistics #pickpackship #fulfillment

Today we celebrate Ronnie Bellomy, our Receptionist here at the Lighthouse, on her 4th Anniversary with us! Ronnie is the first voice you usually hear when you call and she’s always helpful in directing folks to the right place. In her time at the Lighthouse, she has enjoyed being able to help people, in addition to the connections she has made, both here and within the community. Congratulations on 4 years, Ronnie! #lighthousefw #anniversary #celebration

Our blind workforce can find themselves doing any number of different jobs on a given day, depending on the needs of the moment. Today, Angela assembles a Mighty Max Cart kit, which involves providing all the necessary parts and instructions that the end user will need to complete assembly of the product. Once the kit is boxed, it is labeled and shipped directly to the customer. As the exclusive warehouse, assembler, and shipper of the Mighty Max Cart since 2019, the Lighthouse averages 80 of these kits per month. #lighthousefw #mightymaxcart #fulfillment
