A local business, Fueled by AF, boosts efficiency and inclusivity by employing individuals with disabilities to craft popular protein bites and nut butters.
A local business is boasting a 28 percent higher efficiency rate because they hire individuals with disabilities. They have tapped into the talents of people who are often overlooked to create a product that people love."The kitchen group is our solid three ladies behind me," said Fueled by AF founder Angelica Ford. "They bring everything and more.
Ford said becoming an adaptive employment opportunity for individuals with disabilities just made sense."What most people don't understand is that most people with disabilities offer a high efficiency rate and a low turnover rate to businesses…We're repetitive so that means everything gets done the same over and over again," Ford said.Each day, the kitchen crew makes about 5,000 protein bites and even more nut butter.
