Celebration Cake

PORTCO Hosts Employee Appreciation Cookout Celebration

PORTCO celebrated our family of employees with an Employee Appreciation Cookout Celebration this summer.

The PORTCO community came together at our Portsmouth headquarters for a time of good eats, fun games, and great fellowship.

Keeping the celebration fun and lively, there was a spirit of carnival.  PORTCO employees stepped right up to the ticket booth and played traditional carnival games.  These games included the bean bag toss, and ball toss.

PORTCO Employees at Cookout

Our team of employees made special memories while munching on freshly popped popcorn and sugared funnel cake.  Speaking of eats, we fired up the grill and served hamburgers and hot dogs and sides.  A special thanks to our fine food sponsors for this event – Costco, and Central Meats & Almost Catered, who provided the good eats.

Outside, PORTCO employees also enjoyed a game of basketball and hula-hooping.  And of course, no celebration would be complete without cake and dancing!

Celebrating our warmest gratitude for our employees – thank you for making everyday fun and rewarding beyond measure.

Supporting PORTCO Through The Car Wash Program

The PORTCO car wash program is a great opportunity for many reasons.

By having your vehicle cleaned by the PORTCO team, you not only support the mission of PORTCO, you are also providing opportunities for employees to gain valuable skills.  These skills are not only avenues to earn more money, but also learning to work together as a team.  This program also facilities a connection point for PORTCO employees to be integrated in the community with non-disabled individuals.  While having skills for employment is the obvious benefit for PORTCO employees, just as important is the opportunity for employees to build social connections with the community.

This program is also a great way to support the PORTCO team with a perk to you – a clean vehicle!  Stop by our PORTCO offices in Portsmouth and have your vehicle washed by PORTCO employees.  You can find the PORTCO team ready to make your wheels shiny and clean every Wednesday from 9:00am to 11:30am at the PORTCO offices parking lot.  Car washes include interior and exterior cleaning of your vehicle.  While additional donations are welcome, general pricing is $8 for cars, $12 for vans, and $15 for buses.

Coming full-circle, the proceeds from the car wash program go back directly into the program to keep it running.
