Service at We Grow Dreams

We Grow Dreams Greenhouse and Garden Center is a not-for-profit organization that was created to provide job training and work opportunities to individuals with developmental disabilities. They invite individuals to become team members, contributing to the success of the "business" in many ways.

Despite the cold, wet weather, we had a great service project with We Grow Dreams on Saturday, April 12th. What a great group for sticking it out! While we were there, the group helped with some outdoor clean-up and preparation of the indoor retail area.

Since We Grow Dreams was started a little over 3 years ago, they've taken steps to improve their facility each year; however, it has been a big job. It was great that our group could help them move towards their goals. They are always looking for individuals or groups interested in helping them make progress, so hopefully others will jump on board to work with this great organization!
