LEAGUE INDUSTRIES RECEIVES $2.6 MILLION CONTRACT FROM MARYLAND STATE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION
League Industries, the business service of The League for People with Disabilities, has received a $2.6 million contract from the Maryland State Department of Education (MSDE) to provide printing and mailing services for the State’s Child Care Subsidy Program. The five-year contract, the largest in League history, will provide employment and job training opportunities for local residents with disabilities.
According to League Senior Vice President for Employment, Wellness, and Day Habilitation Stephen Freeman, the MSDE contract is a major step forward for the goals and mission of League Industries and The League in general. “We now have the opportunity to show that League Industries can be a major player in the mailhouse service business and in the workforce training of people with disabilities,” notes Freeman. “Our goal for League Industries is to not just break even, but to create a true social enterprise that will help fund other key League programs serving persons with disabilities.”
As part of the MSDE contract, League participants will print over 6 million pages and more than 1.3 mailings annually, including vouchers for individuals receiving subsidized childcare throughout the State. The League will also print and mail more than 100,000 letters and 52,000 newsletters annually. All work will take place at The League’s headquarters at 1111 East Cold Spring Lane.
The State contract is one of many recent milestones for League Industries. Earlier this year, League Industries began printing i.d.e.a.l. (Individuals with Disabilities Express About Life) magazine, a new, Philadelphia-based quarterly. League Industries also provides reproduction, mailing and document management services for more than 80 businesses throughout the Baltimore metro area.
