👀✨ "Sometimes, seeing things differently requires us to close our eyes."

That's how Linda Lindner from BINJE summed up her experience at our second Dining in the Dark event at the Camden Aquarium — and her story captures it beautifully.

Wearing a blindfold, she discovered just how much concentration, patience and humility go into something most of us never think twice about: eating a meal. Her biggest takeaway? A deeper appreciation for the everyday challenges faced by people who are blind or visually impaired — and the incredible guidance of our table captains, like Mike, who led her table through the evening.

Read Linda's full story at the link below — and experience a new perspective on vision loss for yourself. 💙

October 15 marks National White Cane Safety Day! 🧑‍🦯

First recognized in 1964, this day shines a light on the independence and mobility of people who are blind or visually impaired — and raises awareness of the White Cane Law.

Here in New Jersey, the gives pedestrians who are blind — and guide dog instructors — the right-of-way at crossings and intersections. Drivers must yield, even when traffic signals say otherwise. More aware drivers mean safer streets for everyone.
