What does 2 Rivers Industries Sheltered Workshop & Recycling Center mean to you?

To us, it means community, opportunity, purpose, and making a difference. 💙

It’s a place where individuals with disabilities can build skills, contribute to their community, discover their strengths, and take pride in the work they do. It’s also a place where recycling helps give materials a second life while creating meaningful opportunities for the people we serve. ♻️

But we want to hear from YOU!

🌟 Meet Marsha! 🌟
As we begin sharing the faces behind our recycling center, we couldn’t think of a better person to spotlight than Marsha. ❤️

Marsha has been part of our team since 1969, beginning her journey with us at the Sheltered Workshop.

Marsha is 73 years old, and today she is our longest-serving employee, a remarkable part of our history and our family.

At the recycling center, Marsha’s job is book shredding.

She takes pride in her work, and she truly loves what she does. But for Marsha, this place is about much more than a job. It’s a second home, a place filled with familiar faces, friendships, purpose, and family. After so many years together, her story is woven into the story of our organization.

We’re proud to have Marsha as part of our team and grateful for the many years she has shared with us. 💚

This is just the beginning of our “Faces Behind the Recycling Center” series. We want our community to get to know the people who make our work possible every day.

Thank you, Marsha, for being such an important part of our family for nearly six decades! ♻️💚

As many of you are aware, Proposition R did not pass on April 7, 2026. This outcome has resulted in a significant reduction in funding for the Workshop. As a result, we are now faced with the difficult task of scaling back operations while seeking new ways to preserve employment opportunities for individuals with disabilities in Marion County, and to continue serving the community to the best of our ability.

In speaking with members of the community, it became clear that there was considerable confusion surrounding the proposition. Some believed it involved an increase to the existing $1.90 fee, others thought it introduced a new tax, and some assumed it would raise their HBPW bill overall. When it was clarified that the measure was simply a continuation of the current $1.90 fee supporting the Workshop, many expressed that they would have voted in favor.

Placing Proposition R back on the ballot for August would cost 2 Rivers approximately $10,000. As this expense has never previously been required, it is not accounted for in our current budget. In response, we have made substantial reductions in order to continue providing employment for disabled citizens and to maintain recycling services for the residents of Hannibal, albeit at a reduced level.

We are actively exploring potential changes to our operations; however, given the unexpected nature of this funding loss, any significant transition will take time.

We remain committed to our mission and will continue to keep you informed as developments occur.
