Acres of Hope has now “moved” to Auburn, CA

We have been blessed to finally move our program and families to a NEW location.

Based on the wonderful volunteer work, financial support and many, many hours of planning and diligence we are excited about the relocation and the opportunity to say “THANK YOU” to so many dedicated and helpful hands and supporters. We still have a ways to go to complete our move in to Village 1 and we anticipate the work being completed by the grace of GOD and so many “AWESOME” volunteers.

The Auburn community has welcomed Acres of Hope with open arms. We are EXCITED to be contributing members of this community and the city of Auburn, CA.
