This is some dummy copy. You’re not really supposed to read this dummy copy, it is just a place holder for people who need some type to visualize what the actual copy might look like if it were real content. If you want to read, I might suggest a good book, perhaps Hemingway or Melville.…

Recent Happenings at Achieve
In addition to providing 14c piece rate work on-site at Achieve, we also provide employment opportunities out in the community. Holiday Stationstores is our largest community-based employer with having Achieve crews work at multiple store locations. Brett showed how he helps face the bottles and cans so that the labels are correctly facing the customer. Great job! 😊
Many parents of our participants have been sharing with us great letters they've written in support of 14(c). Thank you for taking the time to advocate. Your voice is incredibly important! If you'd like more information or resources about 14c, please visit our advocacy webpage at www.achieveservices.org/advocate.
We are sharing this powerful news segment again because it truly captures the important point that there's no one size fits all approach when it comes to disability services. 14c is just one work option available to adults with disabilities. At Achieve, we strongly believe in providing a variety of work options for our participants. Our participants have the choice of working in the community, completing 14c work, and/or engaging in life enrichment programs. We are committed to providing more options, not eliminating options. Help us in preserving 14c and opposing the elimination of it. Visit our website to learn more about 14c and how to help advocate.

Families of people with disabilities speak out against bill that would end subminimum wage
Michael Couillard gets paid per card, making less than minimum wage. But his mother, Marie, says the money isn't the reason Michael is there.
Important: As you may have heard, the U.S. Department of Labor has proposed a new rule that would eliminate 14c employment opportunities, which would result in many Achievers no longer having access to employment. The proposed rule is currently open for public comment, and we are asking that you submit your comments in support of 14c (due by January 17th).
Your voice absolutely makes a difference, so please weigh in on this important issue. Comments must be received by January 17th, and here’s a link for submitting your comments: www.federalregister.gov/documents/2024/12/04/2024-27880/employment-of-workers-with-disabilities-u...
More information about 14c can be found on our website.
On behalf of those we are privileged to serve, THANK YOU for taking action to preserve their jobs!
We enjoyed a tasty coffee break at Caribou Coffee. 😊
