About
Operated by MSI, a non-profit organization, the Special Hands Shoppe is so much more than a retail experience. The Shoppe not only provides customers with bargain and unusual items, it also helps adults with developmental disabilities gain employment skills that helps them obtain community jobs. The individuals that work here are involved every step of the way with the merchandise, sales, and customer relations. From the moment incoming donations are accepted to the actual sale of the items, the employees are learning and practicing not only skills, but confidence and empowerment.
Special Hands Shoppe Product Line
All of the items available for sale under the Product Line brand have been made with care by adults with developmental disabilities that work at the Special Hands Shoppe and adjacent Choices unit. Crafting these projects each week helps the individuals to boost confidence, develop practical skills, and have pride in their creations. With each purchase you are helping us to reinvest and grow our production. Thank you for your support! We invite you to stop in on a Monday afternoon and watch our team in action. We really appreciate all the generous donations we have received since we began with this endeavor and are always happy to accept any donations you may want to provide us with.
