jobs with dignity

NuPath, Inc. is a non-profit organization in Woburn, Massachusetts employing individuals with disabilities. They have been working for over forty years to train people with disabilities how to do work that makes them feel valued and appreciated. Their blankets are superb and we are helped tremendously by the NuPath staff which works diligently to not only make sure all orders are fulfilled, but to continue to train new employees so they can increase operations. 

 

   

 

In April 2013 we began production at 99 Degrees Custom- a new social enterprise apparel manufacturing plant based in Lawrence, MA. In the next few months, a majority of new orders on our website will be made in Lawrence at 99 Degrees, which helps kickstart their business, and gives them some security during the start-up phase. 

 

 

 

 

Precision Sportswear is a lean manufacturing company in Fall River, Massachusetts. During the industrial revolution, 15 new corporations and 22 new mills were built in Fall River, with over a million spindles, and 1/6 of all cotton production was done in this Massachusetts city that by 1920 grew to a population of a 120,000. But over the course of the 20th Century, the manufacturing jobs dwindled, while companies chased cheap labor and lax regulation. Precision is an amazing example of a company finding a way to work through the challenges of American manufacturing and it is an honor to be working with them.
