Home for New Beginnings Announces New Additions
Receiving United Way’s grant brought new hands and hand-made pies to Cottonwood.
Cottonwood, AZ, April 30, 2021 --(PR.com)-- Home for New Beginnings thanks United Way, the nation’s largest non-profit, for the continuous support this past year through the pandemic. United Way provided the nonprofit a grant in 2020 to start the newest social enterprise, Divine Pies, and receive an AmeriCorps VISTA member for Volunteer and Outreach Coordination. As a non-profit working to support the local community’s youth, these essential additions from the grant have helped Home for New Beginnings exponentially.
“We feel very blessed to have received this grant from United Way to support our endeavors. Everyone at Home for New Beginnings is excited to continue to work to break ground for this essential children’s group home in Northern Arizona with all of these newest additions,” said Pamela Barton, Home for New Beginnings Executive Director.
Introducing Divine Pies
A home is not complete without the aroma of a freshly baked pie lingering in the air. Divine Pies, Home for New Beginnings newest social enterprise makes hand-made, delectable, and fresh pies in Verde Valley to support the homeless children in the area.
