Our 70th Anniversary Gala Harvest of Hope was a night to remember! We are grateful to those who shared their stories – Will Allen whose ground-breaking work with youth in urban agriculture began at Neighborhood House; Reinhart Scholarship Winner Kaliah McAdoo who found her passion with the help of Neighborhood House mentors; and Maddy Tarbox whose family became a Neighborhood House family in a most unusual way. These stories, accompanied by vibrant performances by Neighborhood House youth, inspired us to remember and act on our interconnectedness.
Together we raised over $150,000 in support of programs that help children and families thrive – quality day care, after school and outdoor education, adult education for refugees, and more.
Thank you to all who celebrated with us in person and online through our silent auction. Your generosity makes a difference.
