This year’s Renewal Center Annual Gala was an unforgettable evening filled with joy, reflection, and community spirit. Our center thrives because of the people who believe in the mission, and this event beautifully demonstrated the power of that shared commitment.

We were honored to gather with supporters, volunteers, community leaders, and friends who believe in renewal, hope, and transformation.

A Special Thank You to Our Amazing Volunteers

Our volunteers are the heart of the Renewal Center, and their dedication shined throughout the event. From arranging the space, greeting guests, preparing materials, and helping everything run smoothly, they made the evening truly special.

Special recognition goes to Chandler Picot, our first-ever male volunteer, for his outstanding contribution and dedication.

Thank you for serving with compassion, excellence, and joy. You make renewal possible every day.
