It Starts with Discarded Glass...Our generous contributors in the community (both corporate and private) bring in empty wine, liquor, beer, and soda bottles to our facility for processing. We sort them and recycle them into a variety of beautiful glassware products. We even recycle the glass that doesn’t meet our standards to ensure we’re being 100% eco-friendly. Our wonderful job training program participants hand craft all of our recycled glassware. These repurposed glassware products (drinking glasses (custom etched or not), hurricane lanterns, snack trays and oil dispensers) are proudly produced by our job training participants that include our jobless and homeless, refugees, low income seniors, at-risk youth and those on probation and/or parole. We help those with job barriers feel useful creating green glassware while building proficiency in production, quality control and inventory management while building practical and sustainable workplace skills. On-site job training classes are held in our classroom to teach work readiness subjects like basic computer skills, balancing a checkbook, and even English. They gain valuable vocational training and skills that help them find a job and get back to work. Each of our recycled glass products go through a vigorous quality control process where they get cut, polished, and inspected across many different stations to ensure that every repurposed glass product sold is of the highest standards. You make the workforce stronger by giving people second chances when you buy our products and kindly give us donations. We couldn’t do it without Ū.
