Testimonials From Happy Krew Members
“My brother ‘Ted’ works at the Home Depot in Downingtown as part of the Ken's Krew program. I just wanted to thank you for all your work with him, and for being so patient and kind. Words cannot describe how much this job means to Ted. It has changed his life and affected the whole family. The Home Depot has given him a place to go every day and tasks to complete. Even small jobs, like sweeping the floor or keeping the shelves neat, give him a great sense of pride. My family and I are touched at the kindness that you and the people in the store have shown to Ted. The small gestures mean so much. I wanted you to know that you have greatly improved the quality of Ted's life, and done a great deal for our family. We are deeply grateful for your work.”

“Hiring persons with disabilities is absolutely the right thing to do. It benefits The Home Depot by giving us a reason for feeling great about how we are supporting these young adults. Others get to see that a person with a disability is productive and should not be defined by what they can't do. Their success is reflected in their faces and influences other workers. It is a win-win for us all. There is absolutely no negative impact on the bottom line. I get what I pay for with these associates. They understand responsibility. They do their job to completion.”
