Our Story
Our story began with a simple gift from Alec’s Mom. A holiday basket filled with products made by differently abled adults for Alec’s amazing job coach, Gail.
Alec is a 25-year young man who just happens to have Down Syndrome. He’s a perfectionist and has a talent for arranging items in a neat and organized way. Gail quickly realized that his OCD, viewed by many as a disabling trait, could be his ticket to gainful employment. Who better to assemble and wrap the perfect basket?
Combining Gail’s vision with their 30 years of business experience and corporate network, Alec’s parents knew they had an opportunity to create lifetime employment for Alec and his peers.
And just like that, Alec’s Gift Baskets was born!
