You're Support Creates Jobs, Confidence, & Opportunity

Dear Friend of HVO,

For more than 50 years, Haywood Vocational Opportunities, Inc. (HVO) has provided meaningful employment and training for adults with disabilities and disadvantages—supporting independence, dignity, and purpose through work. Until now, we’ve done this without outside funding.

Today, we’re facing new challenges—global competition, rising costs, and reduced funding. To continue protecting and growing the opportunities our community depends on, we need your help.

Where Work Builds Hope
When Jake came to HVO, he wasn’t just looking for a job—he was looking for a chance. With training and encouragement, he gained skills, confidence, and a renewed sense of purpose. Today, he’s a valued teammate and a proud contributor to his community.

Your support and generosity make success stories like Jake’s possible; and ensure individuals have the stability, opportunities, and support they need to grow and succeed.
