Mission Statement
Since the 1970s, Easter Seals WRC has operated a packaging and fulfillment center where participants can gain practical work and social interaction skills. With the growth of automation in the 1980s and 1990s, it became increasingly difficult to find the volume of work necessary to keep the fulfillment center profitable. Easter Seals WRC needed to develop another income-generating venture that would support its programs and services while continuing to provide participants with unique job-training opportunities.
Building Value LLC was the solution, coming to fruition in 2004.
Description
We support the mission of Easter Seals WRC by:
- teaching skills in the industries of construction and retail
- generating revenue for other Easter Seals WRC programs
- providing paid job-training opportunities for people who need work experience.
Building Value also helps the larger community. As our associates develop workplace skills, they help conserve natural resources, reduce the amount of waste going into local landfills, and make building materials more affordable.
