Mission Statement:
The mission of
Handi-Capable Hands, Inc. is to provide jobs, skills and hope through supportive
employment for our developmentally challenged Associates,
thereby giving them meaning and purpose while providing our
customers with top quality service.
History - Our
Story:
In 1981, the loving families of
former students of RISE Learning Center, a center for
physically and mentally disabled children, discovered the
need for a center that would bring together people with
disabilities and jobs they were qualified to complete.
Even though RISE had helped these young adults
receive their vocational training, they were quick to
discover that job opportunities were limited.
Thus the idea for
HANDI-CAPABLE HANDS, INC. was born (formerly Southside Work
Center). For over 25 years, our
sheltered workshop has
provided a place where the developmentally delayed can use
their skills in a loving, low-stress and protected
environment. As Associates of Handi-Capable Hands, ours
workers find enhanced self-worth and dignity. Simply put,
they are proud of the real and quality work they produce.
This, combined with a communal atmosphere with their peers,
where they are accepted whole-heartedly, gives our
Associates purpose, financial and emotional well being, and
a place to socialize.
