community. I’m thrilled to be able to host over 2,000 attendees at Hartwood Acres,” says Executive Director, Jennifer March. “All funds raised on September 10, 2022 allow Family House to keep room rates low while providing a ‘home away from home’ for the thousands of families who stay with us each year.
