Community Experiences Start Here!
When you come to The Community House, you have the opportunity to create lasting memories with the satisfaction of knowing you are helping others in need since a percentage of proceeds from all community events and lectures help support our Nonprofit Partners programs through our Charity Helping Charities efforts. These experiences start with our exceptional events and programs. Everything from art to music to food is featured throughout the year to give you a taste of what our wonderful community has to offer.
All proceeds from these events help us foster the growth of The Community House, most importantly, benefitting our children’s educational programs and services.
