GWARC, Inc - Improving the lives of people with developmental disabilities and their families
Welcome to GWARC

GWARC's mission is to serve people in the community with developmental disabilities and their families, utilizing a person-centered, whole life planning approach. We provide quality, flexible programs and services which maximize independence, foster inclusion and build community connections. GWARC's programs are based upon self-determination, sound teaching practices and the latest technology.

Our Community

A private nonprofit organization founded in 1956 by a group of concerned parents, GWARC is uniquely sensitive to the level of personal support required for individuals to thrive. We have proven experience with the inclusion of all people into the community.

Bis Mailing Services

BIS Mailing Services is our agency-owned business.  Founded in 1994, BIS Mail has served well over 150 customers with assembly and mailing services.

BIS Mail is capable of completing numerous mailing tasks, and frees up your most valuable resources - your employees - so they can spend their time doing what they do best.  BIS Mail jobs are quality-controlled.  GWARC staff supervise, inspect, and sign off on jobs, providing you with timely and accurately completed work.

BIS Mail employees are people served in our Vocational and Day Education Programs in Waltham, Massachusetts.  In compliance with the Department of Labor, these employees complete BIS Mail jobs and are paid competitive wages for their work.

All BIS Mail jobs begin with a time study to determine productivity before we assign an appropriate number of BIS Mail employees to complete a job on schedule. 

BIS Mail also handles more than mailings. If you need notebooks or presentation materials assembled, we are at your service.

For more information or to speak with a BIS Mail supervisor, please contact us at 781-891-1904, or e-mail BISmail@gwarc.org
