Local Employer Provides Opportunity to Individuals Displaced after 17 Years of Employment

BHcare announced that several clients, unemployed for over a year, are doing well in their new jobs at COMDAR. COMDAR, Inc., a family owned and operated international and domestic mail processor located in Bridgeport, CT, has been providing temporary work for five individuals since June.

These displaced workers have mental and/or physical impairments and find it difficult to compete in today’s job market. Douglas Bogle of COMDAR heard about the opportunity to hire these individuals through a member of BHcare’s Business Advisory Council. Bogle said, “It is a pleasure to work with the group because they are always enthusiastic and punctual.”  He stated that the group is an excellent addition to his production line. He plans to continue to use them for future projects.

For more information about BHcare and the Business Advisory Council, contact John Yeager at 203-736-2601, Ext 1412.
