The objective of Engineered Products Company’s (EPCO) relationship with Opportunity Partners (OP) is to help advance the quality of life for people with disabilities. EPCO has been working with OP for about 9 years and it’s an honor knowing we can help these individuals. Tori’s story proves just that.
Each year Opportunity Partners honors one employee who has achieved independence through OP’s Program. Tori S. was recently honored for this achievement at the annual OP Gala on May 20th.
Tori’s achievement has an impact on EPCO because our partnership with OP allowed Tori to work at EPCO on our Whip Line. By working with OP and EPCO, Tori has been able to move on to an independent job working in the lunchroom of an assisted living home.
A video telling Tori’s story was created to commemorate this achievement. Above are snapshots from the filming.
