At Quest, Inc., we believe everyone should be able to work and contribute to society. That is why we created Blossom Artisanal, a social venture that provides a safe and supportive work environment for adults and teenagers with developmental disabilities.
Employment Challenges for People with Disabilities
As we celebrate Autism Acceptance Month, we remember the challenges faced by people with disabilities when finding employment. Eighty-one percent of individuals with developmental disabilities are unemployed. However, once employed, discrimination persists. In fiscal year 2023, a report by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission showcased that 34% of employment discrimination cases were against people with disabilities.
Blossom creates inclusive spaces and empowers individuals with developmental disabilities to foster independence and work skills through its culture of empowerment.
Committed to Empowerment that Fosters Independence
Employees are responsible for every phase of the business, from hand-producing soaps, candles and bath teas to packaging, shipping and sales. Products are handmade in small batches using high-quality ingredients like goat’s milk, soy wax and essential oils, providing customers with clean, nourishing and sustainable options.
Blossom recently expanded and is now taking wholesale orders. You can simultaneously stock up on products and support a great cause. When you purchase Blossom products, you’re not just getting high-quality artisanal goods; you’re also providing jobs and services to individuals with developmental disabilities and helping to build communities where people with disabilities can achieve their goals.
