Special Instructions
In 1936, the Winston-Salem Lions Club, in an effort to provide employment opportunities for persons who are blind or visually impaired in Winston-Salem and surrounding communities, opened a small, two-room workshop on Fifth Street in downtown Winston-Salem. Six blind workers were employed manufacturing mattresses, making brooms and caning chairs. Today it is the largest employer of blind people in North Carolina with over 300 workers and fills annual contracts for labor and services valued in excess of $80 million.
