SourceAmerica has been a leading job connector for people with disabilities for almost 50 years. Through the AbilityOne Program, we create meaningful employment opportunities for people with disabilities by delivering high-quality, mission-essential products and services to federal agencies. Nearly 400 community-based nonprofit organizations in the SourceAmerica network employ approximately 36,000 people with disabilities nationwide.

To advance our mission, we work closely with policymakers to create jobs and break down barriers for people with disabilities. Here’s how you can help.
