House of Hope has a grand day
in Hobe Sound

PRESS RELEASE DATE: JULY 26, 2010

House of Hope’s new Hobe Sound neighbors made July 10 a special day and helped to raise people’s awareness about the agency’s new location at 8994 SE Bridge Road.

In May, House of Hope moved its Hobe Sound branch to the Boehringer Building on Hobe Sound’s “main street” to offer a more visible and convenient location for clients and customers.

After a period of settling in and road construction, the branch held a “grand opening” on July 10, in conjunction with an open house conducted by its business neighbors.

Barbara Boehringer, who owns the building and inspired the efforts of her tenants, many of whom held an open house to welcome House of Hope and to introduce themselves to the local community: Cindy Boyer Photography, Countess Nadia Starella, EmmaB Jewelry & Design, Renata Metelska Fine Arts, The Skin Inn, Skyy Della, and Always Best Care Senior Services.

Prestige Landscape & Nursery, 6700 SE Bridge Rd., added a splash of color by providing an abundance of palms, plants and flowering bushes to beautify the landscape.

The open house also coincided with the big Hobe Sound Barbecue Festival, which brought hundreds of people past the House of Hope, many of whom stopped to shop at the resale store or to promise a return visit with donations.

House of Hope provides food, clothing, household necessities, financial assistance and case management for Martin County residents in need. The agency also has locations in Stuart, Indiantown and Jensen Beach.
