In late May 2023 Community Opportunities, Inc. (COI) reached out to you, our community and friends asking for your assistance and support. We, the board members, explained the financial struggles the Sheltered Workshop was facing trying to keep the door open. These struggles are still ongoing and are due to a drastic reduction in market prices for recyclable goods, rising operating/utility expenses and unexpected funding shortfalls. We also expressed our fears that without immediate funding intervention and assistance the workshop was in danger of closing.

With the cost of living increasing exponentially, it’s tough for folks to stay in business these days. For Community Opportunities, a local non-profit that employs 47 developmentally-disabled adults, primarily providing recycling services to the community in an effort to keep local lakes and rivers free from pollution, the situation has grown dire. In the aftermath of a pandemic followed by record-high utility costs and a deteriorating building, the organization is on the verge of closing.
