We stated in our earlier email that our intent was to re-open our ProPak locations beginning on Monday, June 8th, 2020. Unfortunately, due to various transportation restrictions coming from the state we are unable to open on the 8th.
We are still working through the restrictions and we anticipate further guidance from the Ohio Department of DD to come out shortly. Based on the anticipated guidance forthcoming we hope to be able to open the following Monday, June 15th.
We apologize for the delay as we are all anxious to get back. I assure you we will continue to advocate at the state level for relief in the restrictions in many areas that will hopefully allow us to get back to work at ProPak.
If you have questions, please feel free to call or email Carol Flunoy at (330) 245-7166 or email to cflunoy@weaverindustries.org.
Many capable people are left out of the workforce not due to lack of ability, but lack of access. Employers can change that by rethinking rigid job requirements, making roles more flexible and creating inclusive environments where everyone works side by side. With small shifts and support from community partners, businesses can tap into overlooked talent and build stronger, more equitable teams.
Encore is a summer program by Weaver that empowers adults with disabilities through fun, meaningful experiences that foster independence, confidence, and community connection. From outdoor adventures like zoo visits and picnics to indoor creativity with music, art, and dance, Encore ensures every day brings joy and new opportunities. With strong partnerships in the local community, participants are supported in building friendships, trying new things, and feeling truly included.
Vocational training plays a critical role in empowering individuals with disabilities by providing them with practical, hands-on skills that lead to meaningful employment and greater independence. These programs are tailored to each person’s strengths and interests, helping them build confidence, self-worth and long-term career success. Skill areas like computer literacy, customer service, culinary arts, maintenance, retail and hospitality equip individuals for the workforce and everyday life.
