Where doing business makes a difference.

Why do business with a DBE?

There are currently twenty

certified disability businesses

offering many quality

products and services.

Whether you are purchasing

a bouquet of flowers, a multi-

year contract for confidential

document destruction, or

janitorial services, there is a

DBE to meet your needs.

They are doing great! When BetterShred

(CranstonArc) took over the shredding

contract, the transition was seamless.”

Ray DeAngelis, Purchasing, CCRI

“We are thrilled! The Maher Center is

doing a great job with the laundry.”

Dave Kirchner, RI Veteran’s Office

"The Trudeau Center has provided RISLA

with a variety of assistance with our

mailing and document assembly projects.

Its employees are reliable and their

service is timely and economical."

Noel F. Simpson, Executive Director, Rhode Island Student

Loan Authority (RISLA)

Bridging the gap

between businesses

that employ people

with disabilities

and state agencies.
