Labor Source 30 for 30 - The Boulder ChopHouse

Labor Source, the supported employment division of Imagine!’s CORE/Labor Source department, is celebrating its 30th Anniversary this year.

To honor this important milestone, each week I am publicly thanking and recognizing Labor Source’s many local business partners.

Supported employment offers people who have a disability the opportunity to develop vital job skills and become active participants in their communities. The benefits extend far beyond helping individuals served by Imagine!, however. Businesses using our services are able to reduce recruitment and training expenses as they benefit from a diversified employee pool. Partnering with CORE/Labor Source is a “win-win” situation that is beneficial all around.

We are very grateful to our business partners who have demonstrated their commitment to Imagine!’s mission by employing CORE/Labor Source participants.

Today’s Labor Source 30 for 30 partner highlight: The Boulder ChopHouse.

Located in the heart of downtown Boulder, the ChopHouse features a menu that blends classic steak house with ever-changing local and organic ingredients. Join them on their patio, in their bar, for happy hour, or any night for dinner.

Over the past year, The Boulder ChopHouse has employed 8 CORE/Labor Source participants at various times. The Boulder ChopHouse has employed individuals served by Imagine! since 2001.

Thanks to everyone at The Boulder ChopHouse for their commitment to our community and for providing employment opportunities for individuals with intellectual disabilities.
