Serving Adults with Developmental Disabilities Since 1957

Mission Statement

"To assist people with disabilities to maximize their sense of honor, dignity and self-worth by providing quality vocational evaluation and training; community employment suited to the individual's needs, skills, desires, and social development; and residential services which enable them to live in comfort while attaining their highest level of independence in all phases of their lives."

Company Profile

EFI is a private nonprofit corporation located in Shelton, Washington. We provide financial, residential, vocational, community-based employment, and community access services to adults with Developmental Disabilities who have various challenges in their lives. While our main focus has been serving adults in the Mason County area, we also provide job placement services in nearby Thurston County.
