BCI's story began over 60 years ago when two business-minded women shared a desire to create opportunities for people with disabilities.
Jane Crider and Margaret Holmes believed that every person should have the right to use their abilities and skills to lead a productive life.
Their operation began in 1959 when they transformed their passion into a working business model.
At the start, their home-based candle shop in St. Charles, Mo. employed one adult with a disability as a candle maker.
As news of their efforts spread, so did the number of adults with disabilities who saw an opportunity to use their abilities and benefit from working in the community with Jane and Margaret.
