National Disability Employment Awareness

Fresh Foods Market celebrates National Disability Employment Awareness Month by sharing Dom’s success story. Dom works as a utility clerk at Manzanita Fresh Foods, stocking shelves, maintaining the grocery department, and operating the cardboard baler. With support from Oregon Vocational Rehabilitation’s Victories program and a job coach, Dom developed real-world work skills, increased his responsibilities, and gained independence. CEO Jon Welsh praises Dom’s positive attitude and quick learning. Fresh Foods Market plans to expand its partnership with Vocational Rehabilitation to other locations. The graphic features Dom’s photo, a video link to his full story, Oregon Department of Human Services and National Disability Employment Awareness Month logos, and the locations Cannon Beach, Manzanita, and Pacific Beach. Headline: “A job that fits can change everything.”
