Convergint corporate volunteers teamed up with people supported with Day Services to restore the gardening spaces and animal enclosures at Wheatley Farms. It was a wonderful morning filled with a lot of work and collaboration, which helps to maintain this welcoming space that provides opportunities for inclusion for people across the Long Island community.
