๐Ÿ“ฃ You're Invited to the Becky's Place open house

We are excited to invite our community to an Open House at Becky's Place on June 24th from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM!

Over the past several months, we've been working hard on updates and remodeling throughout the house, and we'd love the opportunity to show you what we've been doing. Come take a tour, enjoy some refreshments and finger foods, ask questions, and learn more about the work we do every day.

You'll hear about the services Becky's Place provides, how we support the women we serve, and the impact your support has on our mission. We will also have volunteers and former residents stopping by to share their experiences and stories.

Whether you've supported us for years or are just learning about Becky's Place, we would love to meet you and show you around.

We hope you'll join us on June 24th! ๐Ÿ’œ
