COVID-19 UPDATE:

As of March 23, Tantone will suspend all operations, including the thrift store. We are working to keep our staff and the people we serve safe during this time. We hope to open back up soon and will post updates on our Facebook page as we have new information.

Thank you for being there for us!

A NOTE TO OUR CUSTOMERS AND OUR COMMUNITY:

Dear Valued Customer,

For the past 40 years, Tantone Industries and its workshop employees have proudly served the business community of the Branson/Lakes area. Through recycling, shredding, assembly, commercial laundry, thrift store and other services, we have provided employment for hundreds of people with developmental disabilities in Taney County.

Looking to the future of Tantone, we will continue to fulfill our promise to the community of providing employment that enhances the lives of those we serve—we are NOT shutting our doors.

In order to ensure our employees have a secure future with Tantone, two significant changes are being made.

• Beginning Friday, November 29 we will discontinue our recycle and shred services.
  As the prices continue to drop in the recycling market, it has become unsustainable for Tantone to run at a loss as we have for many years. We will continue to accept clean cardboard for drop-off only. Alternative recycle services are available in the Branson-Hollister area.
• We are expanding our other lines of service—commercial laundry and assembly/production—and focusing on community jobs for our employees.
  • We currently provide laundry service for many small-to-medium hotels and resorts, offering pickup and delivery.
  • We have a 30,000 sf. production facility capable of helping you expand a production line or job out a task to free up your employees for more important work.
  • We can provide enclaves of employees to work at your business on a contract basis.
  • Our Supported Employment program works with employers to place employees at jobs in the community—possibly at your business! Many of the people we serve only need simple workspace modifications and/or training to become a dependable, enthusiastic, and successful employee for your business.

We greatly value your support of our program and our employees—it has meant the world to us! We look forward to serving your business in new ways in the future and wish you great success.

Sincerely,

Medessa Bolton
Director of Supported Employment/Tantone Manager
