PRIDE Industries is a leading provider of manufacturing and logistics, integrated facilities management, custodial and environmental, energy, and recruitment services, serving customers of all sizes, from regional businesses to Fortune 500 companies. But unlike most services companies, PRIDE is a nonprofit social enterprise, driven by a mission to create meaningful jobs for people with disabilities and other barriers to employment, including service-disabled veterans.
It’s a mission that Bennyhoff is eager to support.
“I’ve long believed that businesses play an important role in creating a healthy community,” Bennyhoff said. “People feel a sense of accomplishment and connection to the community when engaged in meaningful work. PRIDE partners with employers to provide that opportunity to individuals with disabilities. Bringing people with diverse abilities into the workforce benefits all our communities, and I feel privileged to be a part of this effort.”
