Tri-Village Garden Club helps dreams grow
On Wednesday, Nov. 2, the Tri-Village Garden Club of Bartlett, Hanover Park and Streamwood gave a $500 donation to We Grow Dreams in West Chicago. We Grow Dreams provides training and employment opportunities for people with disabilities.
We Grow Dreams provides people with disabilities the opportunity to lead fulfilling lives and to train and work in a supportive, safe and caring environment while producing and providing products and services to the community.
In this pursuit, they honor the concepts of human dignity, respect, hard work, fellowship and friendship. A dream in the minds of a small group of Naperville parents and the determination to make the dream a reality are behind the We Grow Dreams Greenhouse & Garden Center, a not-for-profit corporation.
This dream is being fulfilled by providing job training and employment opportunities for people with disabilities. The founders recognized the lack of employment opportunities for people with disabilities, and came together to creatively address this need.
A greenhouse was identified as a labor intensive, multiskilled business - something necessary for a dynamic job vocational training ground.
