Our Mission

Our mission is to empower adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities by providing them with job training and socialization.

We will foster independence while continuing to teach them how to create, design, produce, and package items that will be sold in our gift shop. Our adults will work within their abilities but will always be encouraged to gain new skills.
