House of Hope’s Hobe Sound branch is holding a grand opening thanks to a celebration set up by its new neighbors.

Businesses in the Boehringer Building on Bridge Road in Hobe Sound are holding an open house from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. on July 10 to welcome House of Hope to the building and to introduce themselves to the local community.

In May, House of Hope moved its Hobe Sound branch to the Boehringer Building, which occupies 8994 through 9002 SE Bridge Road. The agency is renting the space where the Hobe Sound Chamber of Commerce used to be.

The public is welcome to partake in the grand opening and open house. The businesses will offer refreshments and special promotions, and House of Hope will offer chances to win a special print by artist Christina de la Vega.

Here are the promotions House of Hope’s new neighbors are offering as part of the 7-to-10-on-7-10 open house:

Cindy Boyer Photography will offer a 10% discount to customers on July 10 and will donate an additional 10% to House of Hope. Boyer specializes in on-location photography using natural light and a journalistic style for a refreshing take on portraits of babies, students and families.

Countess Nadia Starella, an internationally recognized counselor and spiritual advisor, will offer a 10% discount on any purchase or booking made on July 10 for a future appointment.

EmmaB Jewelry & Design will offer a 10% discount to customers on July 10 and will donate 10% on any sales to House of Hope throughout July. Barbara Boehringer, whose creativity stems from a long history working in art and fashion design, created EmmaB. Her jewelry designs combine freshwater pearls with natural stones -- such as volcanic rocks or gem nuggets -- bringing together nature with Florida sunlight and the warmth of Tuscan colors. 

Renata Metelska Fine Arts is offering 10% discount on any purchase July 10. The store has a wide selection of antique furniture, paintings of all eras, and modern and classic sculptures.

The Skin Inn will give $10 off any booking throughout July. Maureen Burke and Rachel Hesse offer the highest standard of skin care while immersing customers in the healing touch of relaxation.

Skyy Della, a certified and dedicated yoga and Zumba instructor and trainer, will offer a 10% discount on any purchase or booking made on July 10 for a future appointment. She also offers DNA and nutrition presentations. 

Also participating in the open house is the soon-to-open Always Best Care Senior Services, a provider of dependable, quality care to senior citizens.

“I hope people come and join us on this special day to find out who we are and what we offer,” said Barbara Boehringer, who owns the building and inspired the efforts of her tenants on House of Hope’s behalf.

House of Hope provides food, clothing, household necessities, financial assistance and life-changing case management services for Martin County residents in need. In addition to its main office in Stuart and the Hobe Sound branch, House of Hope also has locations in Indiantown and Jensen Beach. All four locations operate all of the agency’s service programs as well as a resale store.
