Community, Work & Independence, Inc. (known to the locals as CWI) is the region’s gateway to coordinated services, programs and employment for individuals with developmental disabilities and other challenges. The private, not-for- profit agency was established in 1963 in Glens Falls, New York, and supports more than 1,200 individuals each month in Warren, Washington, Essex and northern Saratoga Counties.
In spring of 2016, CWI signed a franchise agreement and lease for Just-A-Buck, in order to create jobs, training and internship opportunities for people with special needs in a completely integrated work environment.
Today, there are six human service organizations operating JAB stores in the nation, and CWI is the seventh.
The store is a not for profit retail business and relies on the general public for its revenue.
This store is a true community partner, helping to further change the perception of people with special needs, focusing on abilities and overlooking their disabilities.
