Lewis B. Puller Center

We solve business problems & open door to employment for people with disabilities.

In the 1970’s, a group of parents from Saluda got together met to talk about educational and employment opportunities for their children with mental and/or physical disabilities. As a result of their work and dedication, the Lewis B. Puller Center was created.

Today, the Lewis B. Puller Center serves adults with a variety of disabilities from Gloucester, Mathews, Middlesex, Lancaster, Essex, King William and King and Queen counties.

In 2001, the center became affiliated with The Arc of the Virginia Peninsula, Inc. in order to strengthen its base of operations.

Puller Center in Gloucester is in business to help businesses, while providing employment for over 40 people with disabilities.  Under the guidance of trained and compassionate supervisors, consumers in Puller’s, the work program help businesses solve long and short-term problems such as: peak production requirements increased overhead costs
