The Property Opportunity

A Rare Campus Could Bring the Whole Vision Together.

Children, families, volunteers, mentors, and people rebuilding their lives could learn, serve, and grow together in one permanent home instead of across separate locations.

Why This Campus?

One Property. Room for the Whole Vision.

The campus offers enough existing space to connect housing, learning, trades, recreation, meals, gardens, and service. Its condition and restoration needs are substantial, and GG's House is presenting both the challenge and potential openly.

Recent Photograph — Current Condition

A place waiting for a new purpose.

Years of vacancy and recent deterioration mean substantial restoration. Showing the property as it stands gives donors a clear view of the work ahead.

Future Vision — Concept Rendering

A permanent home for transformation.

Concept renderings illustrate how existing spaces could serve community needs; they do not depict completed work.

Why this location

Everything can work together

Housing, classrooms, trades, recreation, meals, gardens, performing arts, and gathering spaces can share one campus.

Why now

A rare opportunity

Few properties combine this acreage, infrastructure, and existing space. The opportunity deserves careful, transparent evaluation.

Why GG's House

Room for proven work to grow

The campus does not create a new mission; it gives trusted service and relationships a permanent home.
