Have you been wondering what we've been up to lately? 👀

Behind the scenes, The Hollow has been growing in ways we can't wait to share. We're putting the finishing touches on several exciting projects, and you'll start seeing them roll out very soon.

Here's a little sneak peek of what's coming:

🖥️ The Hollows new website is almost ready.!!
❤️ Our Donation Center is so close to finally being open to serve our community.
📅 New events, family-friendly activities and meet up Mondays are on the way!!!!
🌿 More opportunities to learn about gardening, growing your own food, sprouting, canning, food preservation, medicinal herbs, and caring for farm animals.
🤝 Volunteer opportunities where you can learn new skills, meet new people, and be part of building a stronger community.

Most of all, we're looking forward to creating more opportunities to spend time together with people who love God, love our country, and want to be part of building this unique little community with us....
.so leave a comment below or send us a message and let us know what you're interested in. We'd want to hear from you as we continue creating programs, events, and experiences.

In the meantime, enjoy some recent photos from The Hollow.
.. Oh and one last thing...

🐐 Lucky refused to let me post this without including him. He's insisting that I share a picture of him because he's convinced he's the real star of The Hollow. 🙄 With those giant horns, it's hard to argue! He even volunteered to be our marketing manager... although we're beginning to suspect he's only in it for the treats and the attention. 😂

We know we already wished everyone a Happy Fourth of July, but America's 250th anniversary is just too big to leave at only one post.

For 250 years, the American story has been written by ordinary people willing to do extraordinary things.

It's the story of those who fought for freedom, those who built communities from the ground up, those who stood firm through hardship, and those who never stopped believing that tomorrow could be better than today.

Today, we honor that legacy.

May we never take for granted the liberties we've been given or the responsibility we share to preserve them. Let us continue to serve our communities, lift one another up, and leave this nation stronger for the next generation.

Happy 250th Birthday, America!!
Here's to the next chapter of the greatest experiment in self-government the world has ever known.

God bless America. 🇺🇸❤️🤍💙

🇺🇸 Happy Independence Day from all of us at The Hollow! ❤️🤍💙

The 4th of July is more than fireworks and cookouts—it's a reminder of the importance of freedom, community, and coming together.

That's exactly what we're working to build here at The Hollow: a place where neighbors become friends, ideas become action, and everyone has a chance to get involved.

Thank you for being part of this journey with us. We can't wait to see what we'll accomplish together.

Have a safe, joyful, and blessed Independence Day! God bless you, and God bless America! 🇺🇸

I know I'm a little late posting... we've just had so much going on behind the scenes.. but, I just had to say THANK YOU to everyone who came out on Saturday!

Honestly... I couldn't have asked for a better outcome. Truly. We had an amazing turnout, great conversations, lots of ideas, and, most importantly, people who genuinely want to make a difference in our community.

One of my favorite parts was watching people connect, share their passions, and sign up for committees and projects they're excited about. That's exactly what this is all about—bringing people together and turning ideas into action.

The best part? We're just getting started!!!

We still need volunteers! Whether you have a special skill, a project you'd like to help with, or just want to pitch in when you can, we'd love to have you involved. Every person brings something valuable to the table.

And if you missed the last meeting, don't worry! You didn't miss your chance to be part of this. There will be more meetings, more projects, and plenty of opportunities to jump in.

If you'd like to get involved or just want to learn more, leave a comment, send a message, text, email, or give me a call. I'll leave all my info below.

Thank you again to everyone who came. Watching this community come together was incredible, and I honestly can't wait to see what we accomplish together.
This is only the beginning! ❤️🇺🇸
