Ninety years ago, community leaders in Winston-Salem made a decision that would change lives for generations. What began in a church basement with six employees caning chairs and building mattresses has grown into IFB Solutions, one of the largest employers of people who are blind in the United States.

As we celebrate this milestone, we are not slowing down. We are building forward. We’re celebrating a culture of performance powered by people who are blind. We’re celebrating nine decades of removing barriers and challenging the myth that blindness limits a person’s potential. And we’re celebrating the belief that ability drives success.

Through innovation, adaptability, and a commitment to excellence, IFB Solutions continues to deliver meaningful work for our employees, trusted value for our customers, and lasting impact in the communities we serve. What started small now employs hundreds of people who are blind in our manufacturing locations and through remote work careers, jobs that create life-changing opportunities.

Our team manufactures more than one million mission-critical garments each year for the U.S. Armed Services, operates retail Base Supply Centers across the nation, and provides professional contract staffing services for customers from California to North Carolina.

While we have much to celebrate, our focus remains firmly on the future and expanding possibilities for the next generation of people who are blind.

And so, we say thank you.

To our employees: You are the heartbeat of this organization. To our customers and partners: You fuel this mission. To our community: You helped build this legacy. And to the next generation of people who are blind and wondering what is possible, know we are building the future with you in mind.

IFB Solutions: ninety years strong and just getting started.
