The Director of eQuality, Greg Hani, presented our Program on May 31st. Greg started the organization with a $1,000 grant from Minneapolis Lions Club. The purpose of the organization is to provide day care for developmentally disabled adults.
One of our local programs, Choice, provides jobs for challenged people, generally cleaning or housekeeping tasks. The purpose of eQuality is to provide employment to the same segment of the population, but have them work in other types of work, such as assembly line, shipping, moving, or farming. The workers in their program are also included in other aspects of asset building, such as social events, recreational opportunities, education, physical workouts, and involvement in the arts. To each person's limits, they are also welcomed to develop values, consequences of choices, and responsibility for themselves.
The home office of eQuality is in Loretto, and the organization was originally designed to serve the communities in the Northwest portion of Hennepin County. Some of the elements of the program are now serving Minneapolis, and the work is done under a contract with Hennepin County. With an annual budget of over $2,000,000, eQuality serves 137 disabled adults.
