Carroll Hills Industries, Inc. (CHI) is a non-profit organization that offers adult citizens with disabilities and opportunity for employment.

The enrollees in the Carroll Hills Program participate in light assembly work contracted through GBS. Folders are assembled with inserts used in many legal and medical facilities. Individuals also apply clear plastic pockets to the outside of the folders and attach metal binder clips to other folders depending on the contract requirements. Other light assembly work is done for Ashton's Ben Franklin which includes putting address labels and stamps on postcards used for advertisement.

The individuals employed at CHI also complete contract work for Perfect Products who provide packaging work for our enrollees such as placing certain types or numbers of balloons in a bag and then sealing the bags. They also attach valves to balloons so that they can be filled with helium later, which is used for restaurant advertisements and promotions.

CHI Lawn Care provides mowing, trimming, weeding and leaf removal services to area businesses and private homes throughout the county and continues to operate with a full schedule 4 to 5 days per week.

CHI is also moving forward with their shredding service. CHI is now able to handle large quantities of paper to be destroyed with our commercial size shredder. Area businesses and organizations contract with CHI to have discarded paper picked up and shredded at a per pound rate.

CHI also offers a badge and key chain making service to local schools, businesses, and politicians in two sizes.

The Community Employment Program through Carroll Hills Industries currently has individuals working at Pizza Hut, McDonalds, Napa Distribution Center, Atwood Lodge, and Mezzalunas Italian Grill.

CHI looks forward to continued success in preparing and supporting individuals to be contributing members of the community.
