Earlier this year, to give back to their community, a group of UMAR residents partnered with Charlotte Green to pick vegetables for hospice patients and their families.
Our residents were all smiles and eager to get started picking vegetables as we stopped at the first of four participating community gardens within the Charlotte metropolitan area.
They quickly got to work picking green beans, zucchini, tomatoes, squash and green peppers. The sun was hot, and the humidity high after an evening of rain, but our residents were delighted with the opportunity to help people.
