All-Ways Us is a pretty great business. Not only does it make a line of soaps, bath bombs, body wash and candles using all-natural, environmentally friendly, local ingredients, it’s a social enterprise, too.
Operating under YACRO (Yarmouth Association for Community Residential Options, a non-profit that helps support children and adults with disabilities) All-Ways Us’ aim is to provide great employment, with competitive wages, for people of all abilities. The squeaky-clean company will open its very own shop in Burnside, where some of the production takes place, this May.
Until the space is ready, you can still stop by 1 Gloster Court (an address shared with YACRO) Monday through Friday, 8:30am-4pm, to shop from a small display, which includes this collaborative project with Garrison Brewing Co.. These suds-scented, non-drinkable bars (in Cherry Stout, Spruce and Lavender and Cinnamon and Clove) of beer soap are just $5.
