Donations
We appreciate your support!
Bestwork’s priority is to improve the quality of life for people who are blind by providing training and employment opportunities to produce the highest quality products and services. For more than 40 years, our track record demonstrates our success as a mission-based enterprise. We have committed to embark on a journey to evolve from a self-sustaining manufacturing business into a full-scale, “best-in-class” social enterprise.
“Conversations with Jim Varsaci really changed my life… Jim taught me to trust my hands… Producing military apparel for US Troops is such a powerful thing. My proudest moment was getting employed here at Bestwork. It’s truly an awesome experience, seeing the changes and growing opportunities over the years. I served as the keynote speaker at a National Disability Employment Awareness Month program hosted by Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support. It was the most fulfilling thing I’ve ever done… My advice to other people who are blind: Be one of the brave men and women who give it their best try before they say they can’t do something. Don’t handicap yourself.”
– Wilfredo “Freddie” Martinez, sewing machine operator since 1988
Your Support Matters
Here at Bestwork, we know that people who are blind can do more than most people realize. We take the utmost responsibility for designing our workplace and operations to position people who are blind or visually impaired to excel.
Your support can ensure that we can take whatever steps necessary – use technology, make modifications and updates – to correct a system where 70% of working-age adults who are blind are unemployed. Your support helps change the lives of people who are blind, like Freddie.
Thank you in advance for making our priority one of yours.
