Frank started out doing community service in The Neighbors’ Place’s garden. Today, he’s the lead gardener of our community gardens and an assistant in our Furniture & Basic Needs Bank. When he’s not working in the garden, he picks up donated furniture, works in our warehouse and serves as a handyman. “I’ve seen people coming out of prison,” he said. “First they need something to do to occupy their time. They come and volunteer. Then they need a reference for a job, and we let them know just how well they did here. … Matter of fact, that even worked for me.”
