Our Mission

The Sunshine Stop creates meaningful, paid employment opportunities in a small shop environment, for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. We provide our employees—The Sunshine Squad—with hands-on job training in vital skills such as money and time management, problem solving and communication. This fosters independence, builds self-esteem and encourages opportunity—enriching the lives of our employees, those around them and the community as a whole.   

We offer part-time summer employment while partnering with local businesses in a true nonprofit model.

Join The Sunshine Squad.
