Overview

Mission

A community-based organization dedicated to provide meaningful employment for people with disabilities in a safe supportive & productive environment, which allows each person to achieve his/her highest potential and become as self-sufficient as possible.

What it reported doing in 2025

Handi-Shop Inc is primarily engaged in the employment of approximately 80 handicapped persons in Audrain County as defined in Missouri Senate Bill 52 (Section 178.900 - 178.960 RSMo) enacted by the 73rd General Assembly. Funding is provided from sales of recycled and donated items, contracted production, Audrain Handicapped Services, state aid and donations.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and most voting board members are independent. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
