MVLE and PC Recycler Team Up for the
Community
MVLE was an
organization founded in 1971 by concerned parents of adult
individuals with disabilities. These parents were seeking to
create opportunities for their children beyond the special
education they had completed in their high schools. Now, its
purpose to create opportunities for people with disabilities to
successfully participate in community life has not changed.
Growth and change has occurred because of the improvement of
their methods and environments through which MVLE has created
such opportunities.
Among these
opportunities is the ability to receive training and experience
in a real-life work environment. These individuals are now
working in different work climates according to their skills and
interests. MVLE’s growth has expanded their focus from
center-based services into community businesses, where training
and support take place on the job, in the context of small,
supported employment groups.
Within the last month, a team
of individuals from MVLE have been added to PC Recycler’s
workforce. It has been PC Recycler’s effort to encourage
community work programs in order to boost involvement and reach
out to the community.
This experience
allows them to gauge the levels of expectations for their work
and productivity. PC Recycler gladly facilitates opportunities
for those in MVLE to expand their horizons for the future.
Below is a letter from the desk of MVLE,
Inc. President April Pinch Keeler:
PC Recycler and MVLE have teamed up to
bring a community together, with a common goal in mind...recycle
and keep the world “GREEN.”
PC Recycler has stepped outside the box
to explore a new demographic of employees. They are people like
you and me, which happen to have disabilities, which in most
cases would have kept them from being employed. By joining
forces with MVLE, PC Recycler has put opportunity into the hands
of the intellectually challenged and has gained a Motivated,
Valuable, Loyal group of Employees. Together, we have found that
skill and productivity are the front runners of a well-oiled
machine as found within the PC Recycler warehouse. We are able
to meet both parties’ needs by:
-
providing
productive employees;
-
keeping the
planet Green;
-
meeting PC
Recyclers outreach and commitment to the community; and
-
employing
people with disabilities.
MVLE is a not-for-profit organization
that works to “Create Futures, one Person at a Time” for people
with disabilities through employment and support services.
Companies like PC Recycler allow these employment opportunities
to happen. MVLE works with each company to find employees needed
to get the job done and get it done right! I would like to take
this opportunity to thank PC Recycler for looking beyond the
disability and seeing a person who wants to be employed.

April Pinch Keeler
