Spotlight On: Lighthouse Guild
Some things are more than just the sum of their parts. Case in point: the New York City-based Lighthouse Guild.
In 2013, two venerable nonprofits providing services for people with blindness — The Lighthouse, founded in 1905, and The Jewish Guild for the Blind (later Jewish Guild Healthcare), started in 1914 — merged and became Lighthouse Guild. The organization now draws upon the weighty experience of a combined 229 years’ worth of serving the blind community.
