We are a Social Enterprise

We are a non-profit designed to operate as a business, but with a social mission: supporting full participation in community life for people with disabilities or other barriers. Full participation must start with successful employment.

Chinook’s diverse customer base consists of five customer groups. Our revenue is used to self-fund our mission.

  • We manufacture and assemble goods in our award-winning production division.
  • Local businesses contract with us to maintain their grounds and landscaping.
  • Government agencies partner with us to provide support services to qualified job seekers.
  • We assist Job Seekers in finding great employers.
  • Employers utilize our services to find great employees.
