The El Paso Desert Star Lions Club was proud to award a Lions Club Grant in the amount of $2,000 to Lion Miguel Palomar, Chief Executive Officer of the Visually Impaired and Blind Experience (VIBE), a nonprofit organization, during last night’s general meeting.
El Paso VIBE transforms the lives of blind and visually impaired adults, ages 18 and older, throughout El Paso and West Texas by fostering independence, upholding dignity, and promoting full social participation through progressive skills development, effective advocacy, and collaborative community engagement.
This grant will directly support the purchase of Meta Rebound Smart Glasses, PenFriend recording devices, and white canes, providing essential tools that help individuals live more independently.
VIBE’s vision is to lead the way toward a thriving El Paso and West Texas community where blind and visually impaired adults live with independence, dignity, and full participation in every aspect of life.
We are honored to support VIBE and its mission to empower members of our community through meaningful resources and opportunities.
