CCAR Industries

We are a not-for–profit human services agency that provides a variety of supports to persons with disabilities and their families in East Central Illinois. Our agency was started in 1969 by a group of committed parents who wanted to improve the quality and number of services available to their children. We’ve continued that commitment and currently provide: Early Intervention, Developmental Training, Vocational Training/Placement, Client & Family Support, and Residential Services. In addition, we provide jobs for individuals with disabilities through industrial and janitorial contracting, in addition to performing paper recycling.

As a community agency, we always welcome feedback and suggestions. Please feel free to contact us or view our FAQ.
