Specialties

The purpose of this nonprofit organization is to provide meaningful work and services to adults with developmental disabilities.. One of the first ways to provide meaningful work and training opportunities for adults was through the creation of a thrift store. Generous donations of sell-able items from the community are sorted, tagged, priced and stocked in a small resale store that is open to the community. Our client workers continue to be an important part of the process today. We also recycle newspaper and cardboard. Contact us about our Confidential Document Shredding Services as well.

History

Established in 1968.

MARVA Workshop, Inc. was incorporated in 1968. The establishment of a sheltered workshop was the collaborative effort of a group of concerned citizens. This group wanted local services for the individuals with disabilities and their families. Up until this time, training/services were only available at institutions. Families had to make a heart wrenching decision. Their choice was to keep their family member with special needs at home and hope that the individual would develop to their fullest potential, or to send them to an institution where they would receive specialized training and supports but would only be able to come home on the holidays. The creation of a local sheltered workshop was a major breakthrough. Family members with developmental disabilities could now grow and develop to their greatest potential in their own community with daily support from family and friends. Thank you so much to our community for their continued support for over 50 years!
