Make a Lasting Impact through Service
Join Christ’s Home during United Way’s Week of Caring to support a meaningful and hands-on garden transformation project. As part of our mission to care for children and seniors with compassion and dignity, we’re taking steps to make our garden space more manageable and effective for the people we serve. Your time and energy will directly support this effort.
Project Overview
Volunteers will assist with downsizing our current garden space. This includes:
-
Carefully removing sections of fencing
-
Repositioning raised beds
-
Reducing the overall footprint of the garden to improve long-term maintenance
By downsizing, we’ll be able to maintain the space more effectively and make better use of our resources—all while continuing to provide beauty and functionality for our residents and staff.
