Opportunities Unlimited, Inc. partners with Idaho and Washington Vocational Rehabilitation in order to provide job training and employment opportunities to people with physical, mental health, or developmental disabilities and/or disadvantages. Together with generous help from local businesses, we are able to place people in positions throughout the community, where they are able to earn a paycheck, and maintain their independence.
Some people with disabilities are unable to maintain any employment in the community. Our sheltered workshop provides a safe environment for those who are unable to have gainful employment in the community for various reasons.
In need of quality janitorial services? Our crew has 30 years of experience that will keep your business looking its best for your customers and employees.
In addition, we operate a thrift Store in Lewiston. We will gladly take any of your used items as well as pick up donations locally to maintain our inventory. The thrift store provides retail and job experience for our vocational referrals which can lead into gainful employment.
Come check out the bird feeders! Our newest addition to the thrift store. Our unique feeders are made out of old plates, bowls and dishes. Participants make them with assistance with staff. Each feeder helps keep our folks at our sheltered workshop learn more skills. Each feeder holds a quart of feed. Prices range from $19.99 to $24.99. Prices are based on size and uniqueness. You can’t buy them for that price anywhere else!.
Our workshop has contracted with local businesses for over 35 years, providing a reliable workforce that does various types of work such as assembly, packaging, and much more.

Here is a letter we recently received concerning our work with EKO Compost in Lewiston:
To Whom It May Concern:
We recently had been given the opportunity to work with Opportunities Unlimited service/labor department.
We were pressed for time to complete an order, and were referred by another local business to give them a try.
They were not only productive, but efficient, accurate, and stayed on task. We were kept informed of their progress on a daily basis.
It was a pleasure working with them, and we will continue using their services in the future as the needs arise.
Thank You,
Eko Systems, Inc.
