2nd Annual Rancho Style Gala will fund new Douglas Long Outreach Center

Posted

Thursday, Oct. 26 Rancho Brazos Community Centers 501C (3), will host its second annual Rancho Style Gala from 6-9 p.m. at Lake Granbury Conference Center. The event will include a live and silent auction, a pumpkin patch, a wine/whiskey pull and more. There will be a catered meal with a cash bar and live music. Dress is business casual.

The Gala is held to benefit construction of the Douglas Long Outreach Center as part of the “Five Acres of Impact” project which incorporates the agricultural spaces and gardens that help meet the nutritional needs of residents of Hood County.

The new Douglas Long Outreach Center will have a “free shopping pantry” called Paula’s Pantry, a “Children’s Closet” containing brand new clothes and shoes provided by children’s charities and a larger space for the free programs provided to both children and adults in the community. The space will also have warehouse space and a place for shelter in case of natural disasters.

“The Douglas Long Outreach Center will allow us to better serve all of Hood County, including a place to allow more collaboration throughout our local non-profit and governmental community. This will be a community education space which will allow us to devote our existing building back to our children’s programming,” shared Sharla Caro, executive director of the Rancho Brazos Community Centers.

Your contribution to Rancho Brazos stays in Hood County where the center’s goal is to nurture healthy lifestyles, to allow every child to live in a safe environment and to ensure each at-promise family knows they have a safe space in our community.

Tickets to the event are $175 and packages start at $500. If you wish to contribute, would like to buy tickers or a table or have any questions contact Jamie Franco, marketing and events director at ranchogala1@gmail.com or call 817-910-8114
