    Garden With Us to Create a Healing Space

    Join us in making a positive impact by volunteering in our garden at our women's and children's detox facility. Our garden provides a therapeutic and nurturing space for residents on their journey towards recovery from substance abuse. By participating in this volunteer opportunity, you can contribute to their healing process and promote a sense of well-being.

    As a volunteer, you will have the opportunity to assist with various gardening tasks, such as planting, weeding, watering, and harvesting. No prior gardening experience is necessary, as we will provide guidance and support throughout your volunteer experience
