The Greater Sandpoint Chamber of Commerce recognizes Panhandle Special Needs, Inc. (PSNI) as the Non-profit of the Month for their contributions in serving those with disabilities in Bonner and Boundary counties. PSNI is located at 1424 N. Boyer in Sandpoint and has been training individuals for over the past 27 years in life skills, in-house work, and community based employment.
PSNI currently assists over 90 individuals in the greater Sandpoint area. Providing employment services for people who want to work and need assistance in finding the right match for their skills and abilities, they offer a variety of employment services to help the individual and the employer in a successful partnership.
PSNI also operates “The Cottage,” a unique thrift store located next door to the PSNI workshop. They sell gently used household items and re-discovered treasures to the community. All proceeds go to PSNI who then invest in training and obtaining gainful employment for their clients with disabilities. As a two-fold blessing, the cottage also generates work opportunities for their various clients who help with janitorial, decorating and cashiering duties among others.
Please join the Greater Sandpoint Chamber of Commerce in congratulating PSNI in being honored as the Non-profit of the Month and wishing them continued success. For more information, contact them at 208 263-7022.
