Our speakers for the Brown Bag Lunch will be Turk Thatcher and Rich Bevan of Baker Industries of Malvern.
From the Baker Industries website: "In 1980, with two workers, Charlie and Weezie Baker opened a small direct mail and outsourcing business in their garage to begin to fill the void for high-functioning adults with disabilities in the workforce. Over the years, Baker grew and in 1988, established a second work site in Philadelphia serving returning citizens, those with substance use disorders, and homeless adults, all of whom face extreme barriers to employment. Today, Baker Industries has facilities in both Malvern and Philadelphia, where 200 people each year are working to rebuild their lives."
Bring your lunch and come hear about a local company working to make the world a better place. Drinks and snacks will be provided.
