Via Rudy Carrasco's blog Almond Nation, I learned of Edge Manufacturing, a faith venture business as mission in Bluffton, Indiana. The company manufactures high-quality plastic and metal baskets for various different commercial uses.
Interestingly, Mike Rowe, the former Taylor University campus police chief and current assistant professor of Economics has recently taken on the COO position for the manufacturing company.
They are committed to hiring ex-offenders rebuilding their lives who are unable to find employment.
Read more about Mike Rowe and the company in a recent article in the Journal Gazette here.
