Thank you to Altrusa International Foundation of Ocala for sponsoring one of our clients and their family this holiday season! The car was overflowing with toys, clothes, and kitchen items for this family.

Recipients of this blessing were so excited that Mrs. Lyn/Counselor let them open a few of the gifts before Christmas. ☺️

We love seeing our community show up and spread love during this time of year 💚

WOW!

Gracie saw our angel tree at Snowbirds Billiards and chose to sponsor six youth this holiday season!

Not only did she purchase all of these gifts, but she also dedicated two days to wrapping each one with care, complete with ribbons and bows! The kids who receive these presents will surely feel the love and thoughtfulness Gracie poured into every detail.

Thank you, Gracie 💚

Can you believe Christmas is next week?!

Today, Anthony delivered two brand-new bikes for our clients! These bikes were just a few of the many bikes Gold’s Gym collected and distributed to the community during their annual Bikes for Tikes Bicycle Drive.

One of our clients, who asked for a bike, specified they wanted a two-wheeler because their other bike was too small and still had training wheels. We are sure that they will be happy with this upgrade!

Thank you to Anthony and everyone at Gold’s Gym for making holiday wishes a reality!

Last night, the Ocala Elks Lodge threw an incredible Christmas Party for our clients!

Every year, they outdo themselves with delicious food, festive games, classical music, and photo ops with Santa and Mrs. Claus. 🎅🏼

Thank you to this incredible group who put all of their time, money, and effort into this memorable event for our clients! 💚

In this season of thanksgiving, we are grateful for David, our maintenance technician, who is retiring after 24 years of service at Arnette House!💚

David's hard work and resourcefulness have kept our five buildings running smoothly all these years. In addition to his maintenance duties, David developed and taught our on-site vocational program! Together with the youth, he built tiny houses, campers, and outdoor kitchens, which were raffled or auctioned off to help raise funds for Arnette House. Through David's leadership, he taught hundreds of youth essential self-sufficiency skills!

David, thank you for your service, craftsmanship, and patience. We appreciate the pride you put into everything you do. We hope you enjoy this next chapter of your life, spending time in your personal workshop and on the golf course!

Help a child in need this holiday season!!!

Every year, we work around the clock to make sure all of our clients in need can have the holiday they deserve! This year, we have seen an increase in children and their families who need some extra support.

Can you be the one to help?

If you or your company can sponsor a child this holiday season, send us a message or contact Morgan at mnebel@arnettehouse.org!
