About us
Since 1962, people
seeking vocational training for persons with
disabilities have looked to the Beaver County
Rehabilitation Center for assistance. Currently, BCRC
serves more than 220 individuals at it’s production
centers in New Brighton. However, since August, 2001
BCRC has been able to provide a creative new work
opportunity for individuals with disabilities in Beaver
County. The new venture called Gifts Delivered
Featuring Candy Bouquet gives BCRC workers the
opportunity to create beautiful arrangements made of
gourmet candy, silk flowers, and others
items for
special occasions. According to Executive Director
Paulette Miller, “making decorative arrangements gave
BCRC workers the opportunity to create something
beautiful, while developing dexterity and
concentration.”
BCRC’s workers have
become adept at creating bouquets for a variety of
events. They make bouquets for weddings, get well
wishes, holidays, and just about any occasion. Many
businesses use the bouquets for corporate gifts.
In addition
to bouquets, Gifts Delivered features holiday wreaths,
silk flower arrangements, Pittsburgh Steelers items, and
a variety of other gift items.
Ms. Miller is grateful to
BCRC’s workers for their commitment to the new
business. She says, “I credit our workers for the
success of the business. It has been wonderful to watch
their skills and confidence grow.” The success of the
new business was evident when “Gifts Delivered Featuring
Candy Bouquet” was named Candy Bouquet,
International “Franchisee of the Month” in July of 2002.

delivered anywhere within a twenty mile radius of New
Brighton, and they may be shipped anywhere in the
