ReNew Boutique Welcomes Renee Baber!

ReNew Boutique, an upscale fundraising venue for Acres of Hope, has been brilliantly and successfully managed over the past sixteen months by Cecilia Gandre, pictured left, who has been instrumental in developing store policies, recruiting and maintaining volunteers and nearly every thing else.  Cecilia has resigned from the management position with the intent of continuing in her role as Volunteer Coordinator and special projects.
Acres of Hope is very pleased to announce that Renee Baber, pictured right, has stepped into the role as Store Manager for ReNew as of May 1!   Renee comes to us as a previous board member, and has extensive retailing experience, energy and creativity. (just step onsite…you’ll sense it immediately). Her vision and enthusiasm for the growth of the ministry at ReNew is exciting as she uses her giftedness to create an environment that will draw the community together, while increasing monthly support for Acres of Hope.  Welcome Renee!

Your Smile for Life will benefit Acres Families

Fountains Dental Excellence at the Fountains is participating in a discounted teeth whitening ($299 vs. about $500) 100% of the cost is split between two charities, Acres of Hope and Smiles for Life Foundation.  If just 100 people participate in the whitening program, the  dentists have committed a smile makeover for one of our moms at Acres of Hope and Sarah Nichols (second from left), who will be graduating in June, has been chosen as the recipient! Call Fountains Dental Excellence at 916-780-3000 or visit them at www.fountainsdentist.com to book your appointment.  Your support can raise funds for our families and you’ll leave with a whiter, brighter smile!


Getting to Know Us….

One of the best ways know all about us is by coming onsite, hearing about the program and meeting our families.  For the summer months, June, July and August, we will be hosting small groups at convenient times for you, when pre-scheduled.  If your group would like to visit Acres of Hope, hear our vision and purpose and meet our families, please contact christine@acresofhopeonline.org.

We’re Going GREEN!

Two wonderful volunteers, Wendell Witt, and Lawrence Buren, one of our board members, doubled the size of our vegetable garden at Acres of Hope!  Once the rains subside and we see a little more sun, our families are looking forward to being involved with the harvest.  At Acres of Hope, it really IS all about the Harvest.  A life once buried and hard, blooms and becomes fruitful.  We’re so grateful for our many, many volunteers and donors that invest their time and prayerful and financial support to help with the growth and harvest of our families.
