Endependence Center Inc, 6300 E Virginia Beach Blvd, Norfolk, VA 23502, US

HistoryIn 1997, The Louise W. Eggleston Center began trading as Eggleston Services as a result of continued expansion of all of our services, to both businesses and the rehabilitation community. In January of 1998, Eggleston Services purchased and began moving into a new location on Tidewater Drive. This building now houses the Business Fulfillment Center, Specialized Services and the Employment Service Division of Eggleston Services. In addition to the expansion of the current programs, the Tanner's Creek Project, a joint horticultural program with the Virginia Zoological Park opened in the spring of 1999. That same year, Eggleston Services joined with Civitan Acres for the Disabled, Inc. to enhance opportunities for citizens with disabilities by offering vacations and other specialty services at Civitan Acres, a 14-acre resort and wellness facility located in scenic Chesapeake, Virginia.SpecialtiesFor more than 60 years Eggleston Services has been dedicated to educating, training and employing individuals with disabilities. Our goal is to help people obtain meaningful work opportunities and participate fully in their communities. We help individuals with disabilities gain independence, confidence and increased feelings of self-worth through on-the-job training and stable, rewarding work opportunities. When Eggleston Services opened in 1955 as the Tidewater Vocational Center, we served only five individuals with disabilities. Today, we serve hundreds through 26 programs and 13 locations, and our services expand every year. We continue to grow our services through partnerships with businesses and government institutions, offering our participants the chance to earn a living and lead full and independent lives. The programs offered by Eggleston Services benefit our participants at Home, at Work, and at Play.
