Vibrant Works welcomed families on March 21 for our annual Beeping Easter Egg Hunt, a celebration designed to make Easter more accessible for children who are blind or visually impaired.

Children took part in an egg hunt using beeping eggs that could be found by sound, creating a fun and inclusive way to enjoy the tradition. Families also enjoyed arts and crafts, games, a petting zoo and visits with the Easter Bunny.

Thank you to the volunteers, staff and community supporters who helped make this event so special.

Designed to support people with vision loss, the center brings together tools and hands-on support in one place to help build confidence and independence in everyday life. Guests can explore tools, ask questions and purchase items such as talking keychains and clocks, large-print devices, magnifiers, folding white canes, Braille materials and more.

We are proud to share this new space with our community and grateful to the funders who helped make it possible: Nancy Smith Hurd Foundation, Myra Stafford Pryor Charitable Trust and the James Avery Charitable Foundation.

Meet the Board: Alan Adelman

What inspired you to join the Vibrant Works board?

I was introduced to Vibrant Works by my close friend and fellow board member Tom Stringfellow. My Vibrant Works journey actually began as a volunteer member of its Investment Committee. It was an excellent opportunity to learn more about the Vibrant Works mission and meet a number of fabulous board members and members of the executive team. I highly recommend becoming a volunteer.

What do you love most about Vibrant Works?

What I love most about Vibrant Works is its mission of serving people who are blind or visually impaired in the greater San Antonio community by providing much-needed social services as well as economic and employment opportunities. I also love its innovative and sustainable nonprofit model, which builds on its proven manufacturing capabilities in producing technical garments for the U.S. military to create employment opportunities for people who are blind or visually impaired.
