LifeRoots NM Garden
Since 1958, LifeROOTS, a non-profit community-organization serving Albuquerque, Rio Rancho and the surrounding area, has responded to the increasing and changing needs of children and adults with physical, developmental and behavioral disabilities. Our innovative programs and services assist people of all ages - from infants to adults - to reach their personal goals. Today, LifeROOTS programs touch more than 2,000 individuals with disabilities and their families each year.
At LifeROOTS we focus on individuals and their specific needs. Our disabled adult clients and families have access to day habilitation (day hab), supported employment, job coaching, job development, literacy programs and much more. We offer children and families FREE early childhood intervention screenings, assesments and services from birth to age 3. We also offer other therapeutic and support services for children with disabilities including parenting classes, therapeutic and behavioral services and much more. Our LifeWORKS program offers quality contract and business services to the Albuquerque and Rio Rancho government and commercial industry consisting of a disabled and committed workforce.
We are committed to providing a caring and stimulating environment where disabled, developmentally delayed or behaviorally challenged children and adults in Albuquerque, Rio Rancho and surrounding areas will achieve their highest potential.
We are building an outdoor garden at LifeRoots so the members can plant and grow food and learn at the same time about sustainability. Because many of our members are wheel chair bound, we need to purchase wheel chair accessible tables. We would like to purchase a few outdoor recycling bins and a bench or two for people to sit and enjoy our garden! We are starting with carrots, beans, cucumbers and peas, but will be adding more as we grow. Thank you so much for helping us!
