On March 10, 2017, Arizona Serve’s Prescott team partnered with the Coalition for Compassion and Justice to revitalize and rejuvenate a gardening space to be used by CCJ staff and clients.

12 AmeriCorps VISTA and State members came together to complete 4 projects: mulching soil, removing invasive juniper bushes, creating 5 straw bale planters, and planting a garden bed.

These projects will beautify the space around the CCJ Thrift Store and hospice center, making the space more cheerful and productive. Eventually, CCJ clients hope to grow flowers to sell at the farmer’s market, as well as healthy foods to provide for clients of their Open Door community pantry.
