Acres of Hope is a unique faith-based, God-centered program serving women and children. It walks families through the process of change, healing, and growth that they need to completely overcome the cycles of homelessness, trauma, addiction, and poverty. This organization uses a holistic approach that addresses whole-person, whole-family health. As a result, families graduating Acres of Hope are Mentally, Emotionally, Spiritually, Bodily, and Relationally Strong. These ‘5 Strengths’ prepare them for a successful life after Acres of Hope.
All proceeds for this concert will go to Acres of Hope. We encourage you to be part of this important event, you will have a great time!
