New York State Industries for the Disabled, Inc. has become a national model for providing jobs for people with disabilities.

NYSID Preferred Source contracts with state and local government agencies enable more than 7,000 people with disabilities - including many veterans - to be part of New York's workforce, to become taxpayers and contribute to their communities.

These contracts are important since studies show that even in good economic times people with disabilities are often those who have the hardest time finding employment.

Your continued support of Preferred Source jobs thru NYSID is vital to the economic health of our state and the livelihoods of New Yorkers with disabilities.
