Sheltered workshops are places where adults with disabilities can work and learn new skills in a supportive environment. They provide a safe and structured space for people with disabilities to gain confidence and learn new skills. Sheltered workshops can also provide a sense of community and belonging for people with disabilities. They can be valuable places of learning, socialization, and pride for workers and perhaps respite for their caregivers.
Valley Sheltered Workshop is a 501(c)3 nonprofit that operates without fees to its participants. For over 50 years, it has collaborated with the Fox River Valley community to create meaningful and dignified work opportunities for its participants. Each participant earns a paycheck for everything they do with the workshop, as the workshop believes in cultivating a path towards independence at their own pace. The workshop provides opportunities both in the workshop and in the community with like-minded organizations and employers to enrich the lives of its participants no matter where they are on their journey.
Help Valley Sheltered Workshop meet its $25,000 goal by contributing to the annual fundraising event, the pancake breakfast, which helps the nonprofit continue this mission.
Your donation will help to provide vocational training and employment opportunities to adults with disabilities in the Batavia area. With your help, they can create a more inclusive community and provide meaningful work opportunities for those in need.
