THE DDD ARTS & CRAFTS PROGRAM
Individuals who participate in our Adult Training Program and the Extended Employment Program
with the assistance of program staff make the Arts and Crafts Gifts and also Specialty Gift Baskets.
For more information call 201-997-6155 ext 33.
THE CRAFTERS PROGRAM
The Crafters Program is a statewide program. Individuals who are blind and visually impaired make all
the gifts and crafts sold. Craft Coordinators assist these consumers to develop the skills which enable
them to produce craft specialty items to be sold at craft shows throughout the state.
100% of the proceeds of sales go to the individuals who are blind and visually impaired, with the
exception if materials were supplies to make the craft material this cost will be deducted.
There are currently 45 crafters statewide. If you know someone who lives with a serious vision loss, call
the Crafters Association of the Blind and Visually Impaired at (201) 997-6155 ext. 17 for more
information on how we can help. No previous experience in making crafts is necessary. We come to your
home and provide instructions on making a saleable product. This instruction is provided at no cost to
you, thanks to funding from the New Jersey Department of Human Services, Commission for the Blind
and Visually Impaired.
Specialty Gift Baskets and Holiday Crafts
Are you looking for that special item to give for a holiday gift or is there a special occasion (Birthday,
Anniversary, Baby Shower, Religious Celebrations) that you would like to present a gift basket and/or

and they will make specialty gift baskets and holiday craft items just for you!
