Hello everyone! I hope you are doing well this Holiday Season!
Our annual Hearts for Housing fundraising event is coming up on February 10th! We would love to have your volunteer support at this year’s evening of enchantment and giving.
This year’s event is a masquerade-themed gala and auction and will be held at the Four Points by Sheraton.
What to expect if you have not volunteered or attended a Hearts for Housing:
For guests:
We have a heartfelt program, dinner, dessert dash and paddle raise in the beautiful Four Points ballroom. We also have large silent and silent plus auctions, plus a room full of fun games and ways to give!
