Garten supports people with disabilities in Oregon's Central Willamette Valley to contribute to the community through employment and retirement opportunities.
About Us
Our Mission
Garten is a successful 501(c)(3) that provides customized vocational, day activity and retirement services for people with developmental disabilities and long-term mental illness.
We fulfill our mission in part by providing innovative professional services on a fee-for-service basis to businesses throughout the Central Willamette Valley.
Hundreds of area businesses rely on us to operate our businesses in ways that effectively support their professional business image, environment, employees, and customers.
Garten customer businesses also become partners with us in fulfilling our nonprofit mission to give people with disabilities the opportunity to achieve greater levels of self-sufficiency and independence. This is true whether you contract with Garten’s mail house or custodial division, order fulfillment or environmentally-friendly landscaping, secure confidential shredding or commercial laundry services, electronics recycling or hand packaging & assembly division.
Contracting with Garten Services is good for the entire community. When people with disabilities become gainfully employed, they become taxpayers rather than passive users of the social service system. They strengthen 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.
