Willard Shelter Workshop Boosts Resident Work Skills
Willard State Hospital runs a sheltered workshop that has grown from 15 residents in 1966 to nearly 50 today. Residents work, earn pay, and learn job discipline while producing home goods and external contract items such as 1,500 scented candles for Syracuse, with several residents moving on to external shops like Challenge Industries in Ithaca.
