Workshop

Our sheltered workshop currently employs over 75 individuals with disabilities. Dependin upon their situations and abbilities, they attend on either a full- or part-time basis.

Many of the employees have spent many years with us  and remark that they wish the workshop were open more. They provide valuable services to local businesses and organizations, enjoy the companionship of long-time friends, and are supervised by well-trained and caring professionals.  We try to maximize the skills of the employee and create an individualized job description.   We have individuals who prepare for outside employment opportunities at local businesses and organizations, and individuals who remain in the workshop for an extended period.

Individuals work on light assembly, packaging, and bulk mailing jobs, earning piece-rates.
