Whooz? partners with The Arc of San Francisco
As a company, we are all about keeping it local. Our products are entirely made in the San Francisco Bay area within 20 miles of our office. The Whooz? holiday season has been rocking and rolling these past couple months and we are now selling over 1000 packs a week. That's a lot of sheets of Whooz? going into envelopes and getting on planes. We needed nimble, speedy hands to put all these packs together and we found 'em! Whooz? is proud to announce that we have partnered with the Arc of San Francisco, a nonprofit organization for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
A little bit about the Arc:
"Our goal is to provide the supports that enable people with developmental disabilities to maximize their potential, live meaningful lives and become integral members of the community. To that end, we provide a range of services relevant to all areas of adult life, from independent living supports and skills building to employment training and creative expression"
We love working with these folks. They are the nicest people you will ever meet. Every time I head over with new boxes of Whooz? I am greeted with smiles so big you'd think I was carrying brightly wrapped gifts. They love the characters and enjoy the work. We pay them San Francisco minimum wage ($10.74/hr) and they give us boxes full of Whooz? packed with love. Everybody wins.
