THE GROVE HOUSE
We are renovating a historic home in Montgomery, Alabama that was built in 1900. It is in a great location, within walking distance of multiple employers and very close to several universities.
We are converting it into apartments and will also have a store called The Grove Books that will sell books and gifts. We hope that it will be a place to build community for these young women.
Would you like to be a part of this renovation that will change the trajectory for many young women transitioning out of foster care?
Whether your gift is $50, $500, or $5,000 you will be giving toward shelter, safety and security; whether it is bedding, plumbing, HVAC or floors, we need you!
