Garten exists to support people with disabilities in their effort to contribute to the community through employment, career and retirement opportunities.
About Us
OUR MISSION
Garten Services, Inc. is a successful 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization that provides customized vocational, day activity and retirement services for people with developmental disabilities and long-term mental illness.
Garten Services fulfills our mission in part by providing innovative professional services to businesses throughout the Central Willamette Valley.
It’s business to business! Hundreds of area businesses rely on Garten Services to operate our businesses in ways that effectively supports their professional business image, their employees and their customers. They also become partners with us in giving people with disabilities the opportunity to achieve greater levels of self-sufficiency and independence.
This is true whether you contract with Garten’s mail room or “Green Clean” custodial services, order fulfillment or environmentally-friendly landscaping, recycling and confidential shredding or commercial laundry.
Contracting with Garten Services is good for the entire community. When people with disabilities become gainfully employed, they pay taxes—bringing more revenue to the local economy.
Today, Garten provides services to more than 500 people with disabilities and hundreds of local businesses and agencies – from Woodburn to Eugene, and all points in between.
We would love the opportunity to work with you.
Our core values are woven throughout all our programs, services and businesses.
