"The world is moved not only by the mighty shoves of the heroes, but also by the aggregate of the tiny pushes of each honest worker." — Helen Keller

Welcome to the website of the Committee for Purchase From People Who Are Blind or Severely Disabled, the independent Federal agency that administers the Javits-Wagner-O'Day (JWOD) Program. The Committee's mission is to create employment opportunities for people who are blind or have other severe disabilities by educating Federal customers about their requirement to purchase products and services made available by nonprofit agencies across the country employing such individuals.
