We provide inclusive education, employment, social, mental health & early intervention programs. VPI was established, as a solution to meet both needs.
Our story dates back to 1956, when families of individuals with disabilities and local manufacturers knew two things; individuals with disabilities were ready and capable to enter the workforce, and there was an overwhelming need for contract packaging services in the Fox Cities area. The concept of meeting community needs has guided us in becoming the successful 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that we are today. By providing efficient contract packaging and production services to private industry, with an inclusive workforce, VPI has been able to deliver community programing and services to support the changing needs of community members with disabilities or disadvantages.
