Places for People is a community-based mental health agency serving adults with the greatest challenges. We serve clients in the St Louis city and county areas on their path to recovery and independence. One aspect of our services are the residential facilities where some clients live. Each of these residence's is unique and our clients are happy to call them their homes. CJ's Place is an 18 unit residence which has both an indoor common area and an outdoor back garden and raised beds for vegetables and other plants!
Do you enjoy gardening or have a knack for the great outdoors? CJ's Place is seeking volunteers to come during the weekends to help with the garden, prepare it for winter, and to spend time with clients both in the garden and socializing indoors in the common room.
Volunteers need to be committed to coming weekly to CJ's Place to help keep the garden growing!
