The Whole Person is a local agency that provides services to people with disabilities and their families and strives to help them identify and implement resources appropriate to their situation.
Yard maintenance can be a tough situation for people with disabilities. Planting Independence is an event in the Kansas City area that provides assistance with general yard clean-up for people with disabilities. TWP partners with volunteer groups to perform low to moderate risk activities such as mowing, raking, weeding, and planting. Work will be at the pre-selected homes of TWP consumers.
This activity with our volunteers helps TWP consumers get a handle on their yards and avoid unnecessary fines from the city where they live. This is an excellent volunteer opportunity for individuals, families, clubs, schools, scouts, organizations, and businesses who are looking for an activity to give back, be outdoors, and serve individuals in our community that live with disabilities.
