We are strong.<\/p>

We climb barriers like mountains and camp at the top.<\/p>

We provide excellent customer service because we would want the same.<\/p>

After all, we are all the same.<\/p>

We want pleasant experiences, great coffee and comfort.<\/p>

Who are we? We are the Visually Impaired Community. We are each unique in our level of vision, just as you are. We enjoy much of the same things as sighted folks. We can\u2019t stand being told we can\u2019t do something simply because we are \u201cblind\u201d. We are people; individuals, parents, baristas, friends, therapists, scholars, and leaders. We are what makes 33 & Elm Coffee House stand out, besides our captivating coffee concoctions, that is!<\/p>

We are here to represent strength in teamwork and the beauty of diversity. We are a community.<\/p>

The folks who make up Industries of the Blind are glad to be here. It\u2019s not just because of our mission or that productive work is fulfilling. It\u2019s also because we all participate in deciding how this organization is run. We are a unified organization that makes decisions together, as more of a family because what binds us is more than just a job. It\u2019s our mission and our independence.<\/p>

While the business operates with defined plans based on our strategy, we regularly get together to discuss operations and suggest improvements. We all know that the open exchange of ideas leads to continual improvement. That\u2019s the foundation a good relationship is built on and we\u2019re in it for the long run.<\/p>

We\u2019re proud to be part of this incredible mission and continued growth. Limitations are far and few when you put the right people together with the right drive. We enjoy watching people grow into their potential and help others do the same. One hand helping another never disappoints.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
