Those attending experienced eating a meal as the blind do. As dinner was served the blindfolds went on. At first, you could see some struggling to get their bread buttered or trying to pour the salad dressing onto the salad. But as the meal progressed it appeared to get easier for some. Members of the Low Vision Coalition gave helpful tips like using your knife to find your food and using a dinner roll to make a dam to get food on your fork.

Since its inception in 2015, the coalition has been working with the Sight Center of Northwestern Ohio connecting individuals who are visually impaired with services in the region. The group also hosts events including employment fairs, blind bowling, nature hikes, and even trips to sites like "Cosi". To assist in providing these events, they are holding their first ever "Dinner in the Dark".
