Breaking Barriers, Serving a Nation: How VersAbility is Redefining What’s Possible

At VersAbility Resources, we believe in breaking down barriers—especially the ones built by outdated assumptions about what people with disabilities can and cannot do. If you’re looking for proof that ability has no limits, look no further than our military partnerships.

From preparing ships for deployment to keeping Air Force bases running smoothly, our employees with disabilities are doing the kind of mission-essential work that keeps our nation safe. And they’re doing it with pride, purpose, and precision.

This isn’t just about jobs. It’s about shifting the narrative. When you want to challenge stereotypes, there’s nothing more powerful than showing that the same people often underestimated by society are the ones helping ensure our national security.

Behind the Mission: Everyday Heroes

VersAbility’s commitment to the military runs deep.

How deep? The depth of the oceans deep.

Across eight Navy sites nationwide, our teams are on the front lines of logistics—loading meals onto ships bound for deployment.

These are not routine tasks; they’re mission-essential operations that sustain the health and morale of our troops at sea.

Each box packed and each meal loaded is a mission-critical contribution, made possible by more than 300 individuals with disabilities who have found not just employment, but purpose.

And the impact doesn’t stop there.

We also partner with the U.S. Air Force to manage official mail delivery across dozens of bases nationwide, including Langley Air Force Base in Virginia near VersAbility’s headquarters.

This service keeps thousands of military personnel informed and connected, and it’s powered by hundreds of VersAbility employees with disabilities who take pride in getting the job done right.

Whether it’s custodial services, eyeglass manufacturing, food preparation, or facility maintenance, each role filled in our government contracts work is vital to the success of our Armed Forces—and to the independence of our workforce.

While VersAbility’s footprint literally spans the entire country, including Hawaii and Guam, Hampton Roads is home to the largest concentration of our team supporting the military. And that only makes sense. Hampton Roads is, after all, one of the highest concentrations of military installations in the country

Our presence in Hampton Roads alone includes:

  • Naval Station Norfolk, where we help load food onto Navy ships
  • Joint Base Langley-Eustis manages both mail services and custodial operations
  • Naval Weapons Station Yorktown, supporting food service, eyeglass manufacturing, groundskeeping, and hospital housekeeping
  • NASA Wallops, Naval Station Ocean, and the Northwest Annex in Chesapeake, where we provide essential custodial and food services

By creating employment pathways for people with disabilities in support of our nation’s defense, we are rewriting the story of what’s possible. We are building a workforce where inclusion meets excellence—and where service comes in many forms.
