OUR HISTORY
Geranium Junction was started by Marselaine Clark and Trish Barksdale in 1981. Their mission was to provide a work alternative for people experience disabilities in a less sheltered environment that what existed. Five-0-Five Personnel Services was created in 1988. The two organizations merged and were renamed Junction Five-O-Five in 1991.
