Local Businesses Benefit From Jobs Program

FORT SMITH, Ark. -- For more than two decades the Elizabeth Richardson Center has been rehabilitating people with disablities, teaching them a skill and giving them a job.
The non-profit organization, which is located on South Old Missouri Road in Springdale, also houses Richardson Industries. On any given weekday, you`ll find up to 80 adults with disabilities working in the warehouse.
“I wake up with a smile on my face and come through the door and just interact with people more,” says ERC client, Joseph Welch.
