Items in Tarnos, Landes, is an employment company that has been helping people get jobs for the last ten years. Its aim is to reintegrate people into the workforce through the production of goods and services. Ninety eight people have been employed through these programs: 7 with an employment contract with 3 permanent employees.,
In addition to the developement of the building cleaning business which helps the female population, Items has opened a new opportunity, taking care of the parks. There is a hope that this professional pool of people could respond to the needs of other companies.

A new building or place from which to operate is also needed.
