Anthony at your Service, an Edmonton delivery company that started with a single employee two years ago, now employs a dozen developmentally-disabled adults.

Deborah Barrett helped found the company to give her non-verbal and severely autistic son Anthony an occupation that played to his strengths and interests.

After a video of Anthony on the job went viral, other Edmonton businesses started calling. The company now delivers sandwiches, parcels and documents to about 60 clients.

“Anthony is perking along. He is full to his capacity, which isn’t the same capacity as might be for you or me,” Barrett said.

“But we have several other people who are not filled to capacity and we’d like to see businesses, individuals, organizations step up, the way they have for Anthony.”

Kelly Pope is one of the company’s success stories. Since February, Pope, 51, has delivered pizzas to children with cancer at the Stollery Childrens’ Hospital two nights a week.

Pope picks up the pizzas from a south Edmonton restaurant and travels to the hospital with his support worker at the wheel.

"It makes me feel good...because I’m giving back to the community,” he said.

Barrett says the job was a perfect fit for Pope.

“He’s outgoing, he wants to work, he loves the idea of helping,” she said.

His success with Anthony At Your Service has helped Pope land a second part-time job at a furniture store in Edmonton.
