Friendship Industries

Friendship Industries was incorporated in 1971 as the culmination of the vision of local special education instructors concerned with what their students would do after they graduated.  They have now turned into a full fledge commercial enterprise employing individuals with disabilities in order to allow them to make a living and remain independent, if able.

Friendship Industries develops and maintains employment and training opportunities for persons with disabilities in integrated work environments. They work cooperatively as a team to achieve excellence for their organizational purpose. Everyone takes responsibility for the quality products and support services, and for their position and their personal growth at Friendship and beyond.
