Serving Van Buren since 1983, Big Springs Sheltered Workshop Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit providing meaningful employment opportunities for individuals with disabilities, including youth over age 16. The workshop operates a community thrift store, manufactures and assembles the Royal Minnow Tray, and makes and sells wooden picnic tables, benches, dog houses, and stakes for a variety of uses. Firewood is also available for purchase. Every purchase supports its mission, with 100% of proceeds used to operate and maintain the workshop.
