Handmade & Homegrown for HOPE celebrates the heart of our community — a collection of new and vintage treasures generously donated by local artisans, bakers, restaurants, homegrown businesses and children*. Each item tells a story and reflects the creativity, care, and character that make our community one of a kind. Just as every piece here has a place, so does every person at the Apple Tree Center. 

The Apple Tree mission: Inspired by the life of Jesus, we are creating a sense of belonging and community, restoring the promise of hope, and teaching the significance of service to others.

*Many of our auction items include art handcrafted by Apple Tree Center children using vintage buttons, colorful objects, and shells found at a local antique shop. These pieces of art make the items rare treasures.
