The Early Chamber of Commerce recently named Aldersgate March’s Business of the Month.

Aldersgate’s Residential Program provides a secure, supervised living environment for mildly to moderately mentally challenged adults. They are licensed by the Texas Department of Human Services as a type “A” personal care home. Each Group Home has a common living, dining, and activity area with a full kitchen, washer, and dryer. Aldersgate’s primary focus is on each associate, while living in the homes, and working in the Vocational Programs. This focus helps them to become self-sufficient, to know their self-worth and to develop the ability to reach their potential in all aspects of their lives.

Aldersgate currently employs seventy-two associates who provide quality services to regional businesses like Kohler, Texas Department of Transportation, DanHil Containers, 3M, and the State of Texas. These partnerships offer semi-skilled work opportunities and training that maximizes each associate’s abilities and interests. Services and production include: cardboard box assembly, parts packaging, carpentry, HVAC filter manufacture, document shredding, recycling, state park maintenance and highway litter removal, and landscaping.

If you would like more information about the residential program or know of someone who might benefit from being a part of Aldersgate, please call (325) 646-5608 or visit http://aldersgatecenter.org/.
