Founded in December of 1997, “A
Different Light” richly-scented, handmade products is the
newest division of Bi-County
Services, Inc.
Bi-County
Services, Inc. is a not-for-profit agency established in 1955 and originally
known as The Vera Cruz Opportunity School.
In 1968 the Association of Retarded Citizens of Adams and Wells
counties (of Indiana) was formed as a joint program for both
counties. When a new facility was constructed in 1989 to headquarter
the expanding program areas, the organization’s name
was changed yet again from ARC to Bi-County
Services, Inc.
This name
describes us well, as we provide a variety of services
to persons with disabilities in our two-county area and beyond.
Services provided include (but are certainly not limited
to): infant and early intervention services, sub-contract work
services,
wood products and workshop division, supported employment,
group homes, and community living services.
Our commitment
to those we serve is reflected in
Our Mission Statement:
Recognizing that all individuals have dignity and worth,
it is the mission of Bi-County Services, Inc., to
enable individuals with disabilities
to make choices,
and to live, learn, and work productively
in their community.
