We are less than two weeks away from our annual Fall event at The Rustic Rose Barn!
If you haven’t purchased your tickets yet, please visit our website’s landing page for
event details. We’re trying to finalize the number of attendees to optimize our food
planning.
We would love to see as many of our friends as possible, as our ministry wouldn’t be
successful without your support. The “helping hands” that assisted in opening our new
hospitality home this summer were truly a blessing from God, and we believe He guides
our mission to serve those in need in Ames and Story County.
We are excited to announce that Babe’s Steakhouse in Radcliffe will be catering our
dinner. Babe’s is well-known throughout Iowa for its delicious roast beef, pork loin,
mashed potatoes, and a variety of side dishes. The owners of Babe’s are committed to
our mission of serving the marginalized, and we look forward to their offerings.





Additionally, we have several silent auction items available this year, and we anticipate
lively bidding! Bidding will open a week before the event and will also be available
during the fundraiser on October 19. We have some exciting goods and services up for
grabs!
Our mission continues to evolve and grow as the City of Ames and Story County
depend on ARH to deliver essential services to those in need within our community. The
funds raised through our ministry will help support the following annual statistics:

The additional costs of operating a social service home, including utilities, repairs, and
increased insurance premiums, highlight the critical need for sufficient funding to sustain
our services.
