The Noyes Home for Children in St. Joseph, Missouri, is a finalist for Evergy’s People’s Choice hometown grant, which awards $10,000 for initiatives to “energize our environment.” If successful, the home plans to create a healing garden with native plants and instruments to foster creativity and connection for the children. This grant would build upon previous funding used to update their playgrounds, further enhancing the environment for the children residing at the home. Executive Director Chelsea Howlett emphasizes that such additions help create positive and memorable experiences for the children during their time at the Noyes Home.
