National Disability Employment Month

For the month of October, we will be celebrating and highlighting our Signature Charity, The HOPE Project in honor of National Disability Employment Awareness Month. At Taziki’s we focus on the ABILITIES our special employees have because they offer so much to our lives every day. Did you know that only 35% of people with disabilities are employed? At Taziki’s we aim to close that gap every day by providing the opportunity for HOPE Project employees to work in our stores nationwide. 

We’re so proud of them, we want you to meet a few of our incredibly hardworking family members!
