Lewis County Work Opportunities "Helping People Help Themselves"
We are a non-profit organization helping adults with disabilities to grow and participate in our community.

We work with Adults with Disabilities in Lewis County, Washington to help them develop the skills they need to effectively work and live in our community. The individuals we work with range from 18 to 70 plus. Many are DDD and DVR clients, a number are homeless and a number are unfunded. We help DDD and DVR clients in the following areas:
Employment Assessment: by doing an analysis of the individ

ual's vocational assets and limitations to obtaining and maintaining employment. Work Skill Building: Helping them develop work skills and providing the training necessary to attain, perform and/or retain employment; per-employment preparation; remediation of behavioral problems which are barriers to the person's employment; and/or mobility/transportation training Job Development: Identification and location of a competitive employment opportunity for an individual DVR client. This activity is for the specific purpose of gaining employment and not a "work" experience for purposes of assessment of work skill building. Job Retention: Providing intervention, assistance, training and advocacy to assure on-going employment during the first 60 consecutive calendar days of employment or until closure. Job Support Services: Remunerative work which will maintain the person served at his/her maximum vocational skill level.

We have made a new style end table with the user in mind. The small table shown in the attached pictures is made from reclaimed White Oak and Yew. The table top which is made from Yew has small sides and handles that enable the user to place small items such as glasses, remotes, etc. on the table top then, if needed, pick the whole table up and move it without any of the items falling off.

The White Oak has been stained with Walnut stain. The Yew is unstained letting it's natural orange color show. Two of the pictures show the table in different light which changes it's appearance. The Yew and White Oak have been finished with Shellac.

Here is are front and back pictures of in-counter cutting boards to replace the older plywood in-counter cutting boards like shown on the right of the pictures.
The boards are made out of figured Maple, Cherry for the boards, and White Oak for the pull. The end caps and pulls are held on with three dowels each without glue to allow for the natural wood movement of the board itself.

Lewis County Work Opportunities (LCWO) has been working with Adults with Disabilities in Lewis County for over 53 years.

The work LCWO does to support Adults with Disabilities in our community is partially supported by producing furniture products and other finished goods for the home, office, or yard.

It is also supported in part by the industrial wood products such as stakes, as well as custom pallets, crates, and timbers, etc. LCWO makes.

Here are some pictures of some of these items.
