Community Testimonials

Garten is proud to work with our community partners all over the valley. Check out what a few have to say about our programs and services below. 

“We’ve been thrilled to work with Garten. Not only  does it feel great to  be working with a like-minded, mission-driven company that positively impacts people, but we’ve found them to be better, faster and cheaper than comparable services. The staff at Garten are top notch and very easy to work with.”

Jeremy Sievert

Operations Manager,  Looptworks

“We have found Garten to be extremely responsive, reliable, professional, flexible, creative, and customer service oriented. They work with us as though they are an extension of our organization. Their services are affordable & they truly care about the success of each project they complete. They are invaluable to our operation!”

Irene Bernards

Tourism Marketing & PR Director, Travel Salem

We’ve worked together for 5 years to help bridge these gaps and create meaningful work experiences that will set up the families for future success. We couldn’t do what we do without partners like Garten. Employers who are willing and able to accommodate and work with individuals who have barriers to employment are needed in the Salem community and beyond.”
