At Priority Staffing Group, we believe that our responsibility to our community goes past the four walls of our office. April was national Volunteer month and we were able to speak with and volunteer for several organizations throughout the month. We want to tell you about one of them!
After attending Greenhouse Ministries’ orientation class, it was a no brainer for us to begin a volunteer partnership with them. The background of their story is truly inspirational. I’m sure you’ve heard the question “If time and money were not an issue, what would you do with your life?” This is one small part of the story for the inspiration behind Greenhouse. They realized that while their family could spout off idea after idea of what they would do with their lives, there were other people in our community with such limitations on resources, in pure survival mode, that had forgotten how to dream. That is what Greenhouse Ministries is about – Providing the necessary resources for our community, to lend a helping hand up out of survival mode, and to teach people to dream again inside a safe community. These resources include food, clothing, job leads, legal help, housing assistance information, ID assistance, and so much more! There is a health clinic on site, weekly classes for socialization (cooking, sewing, etc.), and they recently opened apartments for men’s housing in the upstairs of their new building. Another thing we loved about the organization is they believe Greenhouse is a community organization, built on the dreams and volunteer efforts of Murfreesboro. The majority of their programs came about by volunteers stating, “I have an idea.” Greenhouse is committed to following through with those ideas to provide endless, necessary resources in our city.
