More than 40 people are on their team

“When people see our finished product of whatever they send us, they are blown away that it is perfect, every box is perfect, every label is in the same spot so they trust us with their work, and we’re just getting more and more and more companies every day,” Angelini said.

She hopes in the future more companies will see the value in hiring people of all abilities, just like the 43 people on their team.

“They’re just blossoming. We’ve sent two of them to other jobs, they’ve got two full-time jobs so it is great to see them learn and grow and be part of the community and have fulfillment in their life,” Angelini said.

Gabi’s held a fundraising gala on Friday.
