Mission: "RING" serves individuals with disabilities by providing them with a path to independence and self-sufficiency through training, support and advocacy. Once trained, individuals are either placed on contract at local businesses or work at the ISO 9001:2008 certified RING facility in Gainesville which provides cost effective business services such as bulk mail processing, assembly, packaging and lite manufacturing.
Results: Tax deductions to employers who hire, cost effective and less turnovers. For our clients; independence and a feeling of success
Target demographics: Since its beginning in 1969, RING has served over 7,000 individuals with disabilities ranging from mental and physical disabilities to substance abuse and learning disabilities. Although most RING Trainees are prepared for competitive employment, there is also a program for those who need continued support. This program provides gainful employment and greater independence for our most challenged trainees. There is never a fee to the Trainee and they have the opportunity to earn income through contract work generated by area businesses.
