Social Entrepreneurship: All In One Basket

“Why would I order from just a gift shop when I can order from a place that serves a bigger cause as well as providing such high quality gifts.  The baskets from All In One Basket ship beautifully and create just the right message to our employees and clients receiving the gifts.”

– Michael Pratico Jr., Richardson Commercial Reality

All In One Basket, a subsidiary of Allies, was established in 2003 to offer novelty gift baskets and high end gift products while providing on-site job training to individuals with disabilities.  While we are proud of the success of our stores, the most important feature of the All In One Basket experience is that it gives our clients the opportunity to be part of a team, learn important job skills and earn their own money.

At All in One Basket, the people we support learn the many aspects of working in a store through our retail  skills program. Staff is trained to greet customers, process orders, assist with basket preparation, use the cash register, distribute brochures to potential customers, deliver products and maintain the storefront.

Our All In One Basket venture has been so successful we now have two stores – Somerville and Mount Holly and customers can order baskets on-line through our website www.allinonebasket.org.
