Steve P's First Step To Success


Steve's story began by participating in the Ohio City Power (OCP) - Community Greenhouse Partners collaboration, bringing years of landscaping experience to add to the projects there. With the help of Steve and others at OCP, food is harvested and provided at low-cost to the neighborhood, improving personal health while generating training, mentoring and employment opportunities.
Community Greenhouse Partners is a sustainable urban farm that applies ecological design principles and engages community participation to grow wholesome food year-round in Cleveland, Ohio.

What Does It Take To Help Someone Get A Fresh Start?


It takes many people and organizations giving different ways to help people get back on the road of self-sufficiency. Here are a few of the ways Steve was helped by individuals and charitable organizations working together:
  • Lisa Braun, Executive Director, Ohio City Power, encouraged Steve to join the group scheduled to help out at Community Greenhouse Partners
  • Albert Wagner, Operations Officer, Ohio City Power and also a guest at The Saint Herman House, encouraged Steve to join their Saturday farming group
  • Lisa Braun asked HyperTools to consider Steve for employment
  • HyperTools hired Steve and, realizing he needed eyeglasses, bought Steve a new pair of glasses for $350  
  • The Saint Herman House helps Steve with transportation so he can get to Chagrin Falls for his job
  • HyperTools is helping Steve get a driver's license
With a new outlook on life and a chance to pursue new dreams, Steve speaks now of wanting to move to the Chagrin Falls area!
This article is published with special thanks to Albert Wagner.
