Serve Ur Village service trip to Murray Greenhouse Foundation
From the website of the Murray Greenhouse Foundation
For years people in our community have asked “what will happen to people with disabilities when they reach age 22 and can no longer attend the public school system?” Government budgeting constraints leave thousands of people and their families with little or no support. As a result, skills learned in school deteriorates, and isolation from friends and other community support grows.
The Murray Greenhouse Foundation offers a solution. Conceived as a safe and nurturing learning place whose cornerstone is our greenhouse, the Foundation provides the teaching of individualized independent living skills and employment skills for people with disabilities. Here, people can learn the skills necessary to be successful at work and in their personal lives to help build a better life for themselves and their families.
Serve Ur Village had the privilege of spending a few hours on Saturday March 24th, with the wonderful people of the Murray Greenhouse Foundation. The weather was beautiful, and their greenhouse is amazing. We helped build plant tables, weed, plant vegetables, moved a compost pile, raked up needles and wired 100 pots. This is such a wonderful foundation. We loved meeting Sheila, Vanessa and Diane. The minute we walked in their doors, we knew this was a special place. Thank you for all you do for your community. Thanks for giving us at Serve Ur Village the opportunity to help you. Thank you to the volunteers! Your hands are the only way we can make these projects happen at Serve Ur Village! Thank You!!
They sell their vegetables and potted plants and flowers to the public. All proceeds support the foundation.
