Our Vision

Mission Statement

To provide employment for people with disabilities in a supportive environment.

Alliance Industries, the 2021 Duesy Awards Non-Profit of the Year

Our History

How We Started

In the 1950's, there was no place for parents to find education and work experiences for their children with disabilities of DeKalb County.

When We Set Up Our Roots

Parents started a school for disabled children with the help of people in the community.  By 1957, the DCARC had 9 students and, within 2 years, had grown to 25 students.  Additional space became necessary.

How We Evolved

In 1963, the community had raised the funds to fill another need, and that was giving each individual hands-on work experience.  It was through this that Wee Haven Workshop was formed.

How We Got Where We Are Today

Over the years, the need for the school declined as public schools began accepting disabled children into their special education classes.  In 1997, with our continued growth through the focus on workforce development, another expansion became apparent.  In August of that year, building expansion and renovation was completed, and the employees chose our new name, Alliance Industries.

Where We Are Heading Next

Currently, we are in the midst of yet another expansion as our participation in the local economy has grown and diversified.
