Thank you to the Lincoln County Economic Development Office for producing this video on our Moscow Mills facility in honor of Manufacturing Month!

It takes you inside our facility to meet the team and see the real production work they take on for our partners. Every day, that work creates meaningful jobs and shows what’s possible when you focus on unique abilities, not disabilities.

We’re proud to be part of Lincoln County’s manufacturing community. Take a look!

Sunday evening kicked off our golf tournament weekend with our first-ever Legacy Dinner, where we honored Chuck Blossom with the inaugural Jim Lang Legacy Award.

Chuck first came to BCI as a business owner who needed a partner to assemble small parts for his tools. Our team’s work was so good that he became a lasting customer, and eventually much more. As CEO from 1999 to 2014, he turned a struggling organization around. Revenue more than tripled, and employment of adults with disabilities grew from 100 to over 300. Above all, Chuck taught us to see unique abilities, not disabilities, and that lesson still guides us today.

At the dinner, together, we raised over $20,000 to fund summer work experiences for high school students with disabilities. Janet and Jeremy Kuhn spoke about how much these opportunities matter for students who are starting to picture their lives after high school.

Thank you to everyone who joined us and gave so generously, and to all who carried that energy onto the course on Monday.

Congratulations again, Chuck!

Pizza lunches, fantastic costumes, and spooky shirts made yesterday extra fun at both BCI locations. Congratulations to the Lincoln County costume contest winners: Clayton, Dominick, and Aynegel—and thank you to all the volunteers who helped serve lunch at St. Peters!

These pics prove the whole team was ready for a frightfully fun weekend. Have a BOOtiful Halloween, everyone! 👻

Jack Matlock knows what it feels like to be passed over because of a disability. Today, that experience fuels his passion as BCI’s Job Coach Coordinator, where he helps our competitive employment clients find and keep meaningful work.

Watch Jack’s "My BCI" video from our October newsletter. As National Disability Employment Awareness Month comes to a close, his story is a powerful reminder that people with disabilities don’t need lower expectations. They need opportunities to show what they can do.

Drive something that matters!

Getting to work shouldn’t be the hardest part of someone’s day. But for many BCI employees, transportation is a real challenge.

That’s why the parents of one of our employees decided to do something about it. They started Loving Hands Transportation, and with help from BCI, they’ve secured funding for riders. Now they just need drivers!

Loving Hands is hiring part-time drivers in St. Charles County:

🕗 2 hours in the morning + 2 hours in the afternoon
📅 Monday through Friday
💵 $22–25 per hour
🤝 Flexibility possible; long-term overall commitment preferred

It’s a great fit for retirees or anyone age 23 or older looking for meaningful part-time work. Qualifications apply, but if you or someone you know might be interested, we’d love to talk.

Call BCI’s Transportation Manager, Reid Krueger, at 636-875-5282. And please tag a friend or share this post. The right driver could be in your network!

Katie B. recently moved into a new role on the work floor: folding product boxes. Most of her work so far has been filling containers, so this was a whole new skill set. After watching her supervisor, Lisa, demonstrate the task once, Katie had it down. She understood every step and was off and running!

Way to go, Katie! We’re proud to see you rock a new challenge. 💪📦

A DECADE of making a difference! 🎉

Help us celebrate Krista Smith in Finance and Billy McCarty in Logistics, who recently marked 10 YEARS with BCI!

Krista plays an important role, making sure BCI pays its bills and keeps the business side running smoothly! Meanwhile, Billy and his team keep things moving, making sure inbound and outbound goods move in, out, and around our facilities.

Ten years with one employer is no small feat! In fact, only about 3 in 10 U.S. workers age 25 and older have been with their current employer for a decade or more. That makes Krista and Billy's milestone even more worth celebrating!

Krista and Billy, thank you for 10 years of hard work, dedication, and being part of the BCI team. Everyone agrees—we're lucky to have you!
