    Description

    Catholic Guardian Services’ purpose is to deliver care with compassion and respect, honoring the dignity and humanity of every individual.

    For the individuals we support, these homes are just that—home. Clean, well-maintained outdoor spaces create opportunities for relaxation, socialization, and community connection. This spring, we are seeking corporate partners and volunteer groups to support “Green-Up” Days at our programs where adults with differing abilities live and thrive. After the winter months, our outdoor spaces need care and attention to be safe, welcoming, and accessible.
