"Tantone Industries offers a variety of services including recycling, shredding, mail courier deliveries, a thrift store and more, but laundry duty is considered the coveted job among employees. Tantone Industries offers pick-up and delivery service. The service is fast and convenient, saving Branson-area businesses precious labor hours and money. All laundry is folded and bagged."

creativeCreative Day Participants Give Back to their Community

Each week, adults from our Creative Day Care Program head to the Shepherd of the HIlls Humane Society to spend a few hours socializing the cats and dogs or even cleaning up a bit. It's community outreach activities like this that help our folks be a bit part of the larger community. Thank you to our community partners for letting us volunteer with you!
