How it all started

BISCUIT BEGINNINGS

Tad and Suzanne Wilcox and David and Leslie Hooker formed a nonprofit 501(c)3 on behalf of their adult sons, both of whom have disabilities.

IN 2018

Two young men standing in a garage with four large buckets labeled 'Beer City' and 'Founders.' One man is holding a long tool or pipe. The garage has a red metal wall, two large closed garage doors, and various signs and equipment.
Two women sitting on a blue couch, holding beers, with a brown dog with curly fur sitting on the woman's lap. The women are smiling, and there is a dog-themed snack bag on the woman's lap. The background features a wall with a map-shaped wooden wall art.
Two young men standing side by side, wearing gray T-shirts, in a room with metal shelves and a beige wall. One man has short light brown hair, and the other has short dark hair and black glasses. The man with glasses has a graphic print of a comedian's face on his T-shirt.

“OUR GOAL IS TO provide them with an opportunity to be productive every day.”

BEER CITY DOG BISCUITS

is tailored to meet the unique abilities of each volunteer and employee to enable them to participate in all aspects of the business. They will be planning/forecasting demand, assembling, baking, labeling and weighing bags, packing, and processing orders. Additionally, employees will be identifying sales opportunities, calculating costs, counting cash and credit sales and making bank deposits. Leadership volunteers assist and guide in the process; each stage is intentionally created to support project-based learning and work skill development that enables employees to learn valuable life skills.

WE BELIEVE

All people, regardless of their abilities, enrich our community. Those with disabilities are essential; without their presence in our workplaces, neighborhoods, and places of worship, our community is incomplete! Our belief is rooted in the knowledge that every person—regardless of ability—is essential to God’s plan.
