Message from the President
Welcome to the first edition of Friendship’s newsletter!
We are excited to introduce our inaugural issue and hope that you will find it
informative and useful. You will discover that we have many exciting things going on
in rehabilitative services and our commercial division.
We are very proud of how far we have come since our humble beginnings in a
chicken hatchery over forty years ago! The support we have received from the local
community has enabled us to serve more people with disabilities and progress from
a sheltered workshop to a diverse not-for-profit business providing jobs for persons
with disabilities in mail services, packaging, light manufacturing, and more.
If there is a feature you would like to see in our newsletter, please contact us at 540-
434-9586 or News@Friendship-Industries.com. We look forward to your input.
