Meaningful Employment
For adults with disabilities, unemployment rates can be as high as 80%. We’re changing that, one job at a time.
Hiring people with disabilities not only builds a stronger community, it sparks creativity, innovation, and understanding.
​
Through our social enterprises, Scraps & Skeins and Good Day Café, we’re proud to provide meaningful work for adults with Autism, intellectual disabilities, and mental health diagnoses.
When teams include people with different perspectives, especially those who experience the world in unique ways, they’re better equipped to question the norm and spark innovation.

Reuse is Beautiful
​
Scraps & Skeins' motto, "reuse is a beautiful" is inspired by our mission of saving reusable textiles from the landfill. We provide knitters and quilters with an outlet to pass on overflow materials, allowing us to offer the community fabric, yarn, and other sewing supplies at an affordable price. ​​​

"This job means the world to me. It gives me purpose and a reason to get out of bed and out of the house. It also helps me to turn my mental illness into something positive."
