Lifeskills, Inc
We are very proud to support and employ Lifeskills, a workshop for mentally challenged adults.
Lifeskills was founded in 1970. At that time, there were no guarantees as to how long developmentally disabled individuals would be included in public school.
In response to this situation, 14 parents and business people concerned about the need for continued training and educational opportunities for developmentally disabled individuals formed and incorporated Life-Skills, Inc. The organization now supports 24 programs, supporting an average of 312 individuals.
Lifeskills workshop provides assessment, skills training, job placement, and follow – up services to disabled adults. Businesses, like North Woods Animal Treats, assist by providing products and materials to be processed at the workshop. This employment provides for real work skills training for the clients in a real work environment.
The people who are employed at the Lifeskills workshop live in the community. They have disabilities of varying degrees, but enjoy working and helping to support themselves. The attendance rate is 95%!
The employees at Lifeskills shrink wrap, label, and prepare North Woods Animal Treats for shipment. They do everything except bake the cookies.
Your purchase of North Woods Animal Treats helps to train, employ and support the clients of the Lifeskills workshop. Great products and a good cause!
"We love to work with the dog cookies. This is fun job."
