Acres of Diamonds invites community members to its October “Beautiful Things” celebration, where it will share the beautiful things resulting from its transitional housing program for single women and single women with children.

Highlighting the event will be a presentation by Mike Johnson, director, Tacoma Rescue Mission, who was featured in “Climb Out of Homelessness,” a documentary film that followed a group of recovery program participants as they trained and attempted to summit Mount Rainier. There will also be an exhibit and sale of limited-edition prints featuring Acres of Diamonds women and families by renowned photographer Angela Sterling. Proceeds will be donated to Acres of Diamonds.

The event is 7 to 9 p.m., Saturday, Oct. 10, at the Trilogy Cascade Club located at 23225 N.E. Crossings Road in Redmond. Music, wine, appetizers, desserts and coffee are included.

“No mother should have to raise her children living couch to couch, in a shelter, or on the streets,” said Jennifer Paddock, executive director, Acres of Diamonds. “Acres of Diamonds is dedicated to providing single women and families with a safe place to grow and flourish so they can overcome economic, social, spiritual, and physical brokenness and discover the lives for which they were created.”

Tickets are $40 per person. Order online at https://acresofdiamonds.org/fall-event-beautiful-things or call (425) 788-9999.
