Fall, Football, and Finding Hope at Home

Fall reminds us of the joy of gathering with family, friends, and football, but it also highlights the importance of home. At Spaces And Places, we are proud to support the Neighborhood Christian Center and their work through transitional homes like the Nehemiah House and Ruth House, which provide refuge, stability, and a path toward independence for families and women in need (NCC). This season, we are also sponsoring the No Show Tailgate Party and giving away a free Tailgate Party Meal. When you win, a neighbor in need wins too.
