Social Enterprises

Life-Skills, Inc. owns and operates several businesses in South Central Massachusetts. Our businesses are mission-driven and offer valuable resources to our community while providing integrated employment opportunities to individuals with intellectual, developmental, and emotional disabilities served by our agency.

These supported employment programs empower our individuals in becoming productive, self-determined contributing members of society. We focus on the individual’s abilities and interests, help build social and vocational skills, and provide the ongoing supports required to be successful in the workplace.

Our Take 2 Consignment and Closet Classics Thrift stores provide a great opportunity for our individuals to learn skills that are required to be a sales associate. Individuals learn to sort, tag, and hang clothes as well as work on money management skills by operating the cash register. Our therapists assess the activities at the store to provide equipment and recommendations on how to allow the individuals to be as independent as possible. The stores have been a great way for individuals to build valuable work skills as well as make new friends in the community.

We are always seeking donations of furniture, clothing, household items, toys, etc. in resale condition. Tax credit slips are available at the time of donation. Pick-ups can be arranged for large donations.
