The skills, ability and sheer determination of the Villagers is a benefit to many local businesses doing such tasks as packaging, sealing, collating, direct mail preparation and special projects. Such projects afford a sense of accomplishment and pride and encourage a positive self-image. For those Villagers interested, the following are offered:
