Growing Hope

August 3, 2020

An abundance of new plants are taking root in the front garden beds of Christ House. Not only do these geographically native plants help local pollinators and slow run-off, they also provide a source of hope for patients and neighbors who witness their growth.

Sandra, a volunteer, looks lovingly at the garden beds.

Local volunteer Sandra shared her time assisting with meal service in the Christ House kitchen for many years. Recently she has been generously gifting her time, skills, and wisdom as a Master Gardener to help Christ House’s garden beds thrive. Through her guidance, the front of Christ House now embodies the dignifying care that takes place inside the building. We are so grateful for Sandra and for the many volunteers who continue to offer their gifts in new ways to support the healing of Christ House patients. Thank you for nurturing hope.
