About Daybreak Independent Services, Inc.

In 2010, Daybreak Independent Services (DBIS) commenced operations to provide individuals with developmental disabilities the opportunity to acquire and apply their skills within a traditional work environment. Since its inception, Daybreak has broadened its mission across multiple locations, thereby accommodating an increasing number of individuals and expanding service offerings.
