Kraft Foods, Playtex Products, and Procter & Gamble Dover Wipes Company Are Recognized For Supporting KSI’s Industrial Work Crew Program

Kent-Sussex Industries, Inc. (KSI) recently presented Industrial Work Crew Program Appreciation Awards to Kraft Foods Global, Inc., Playtex Products, Inc., and Procter & Gamble Dover Wipes Company.

KSI, a vocational rehabilitation organization, provides employment opportunities to individuals with disabilities. Kraft Foods, Playtex Products, and Procter & Gamble, each provide community based employment through KSI’s Industrial Work Crew Program.  This program is a successful match for businesses who want to have a particular job completed at their own location.  A work crew consists of a KSI supervisor, and a group of program participants who work on location at the host company. KSI has had a work crew at Procter & Gamble since the 1970's and currently employs over 40 individuals there. Kraft Foods has had a work crew on site since October 2005. There are currently 6 individuals on this work crew. Playtex Products is the newest community based work crew which started in September 2006 and provides employment to nearly 40 individuals.

For more information about KSI’s Industrial Work Crew Program, contact Dan Robinette at (302) 422-4014 ext. 3024.
