Labor Source 30 for 30 - Sunbeam Farm

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: Sunbeam Farm.

Sunbeam Farm produces organically-grown vegetables and herbs for a small Community Supported Agriculture Program (CSA) and on-site Farm Stand, raises chickens for organic eggs, and provides educational opportunities for people of all ages.

Thank you, Sunbeam Farm, for your demonstrated commitment to providing employment opportunities for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
