Hope & Healing 2017 Renovations.

Through the Wells Fargo Works for Small Business: Neighborhood Renovation Program Contest, eligible small business owners in select neighborhoods and zip codes in five cities across America had the opportunity to compete for a business makeover. In 2017, Hope & Healing Counseling Services, LLC was extremely fortunate to have been chosen as the grand prize winner of Wells Fargo Works for Small Business®Neighborhood Renovation Program Contest. This contest is designed to help improve eligible small businesses in designated neighborhoods in five cities – Atlanta, Houston, Los Angeles, Miami and Minneapolis – through a physical location or storefront makeover. Wells Fargo  launched the program in collaboration with Rebuilding Together, a premier nonprofit organization focused on rebuilding communities. 

“Working with small business owners is one of the most important things we do at Wells Fargo, and we know that when small businesses succeed, our communities prosper,” said Lisa Stevens, Wells Fargo head of Small Business. “We are committed to the communities we serve and are focused on encouraging economic development in cities across the U.S. By transforming a group of local small businesses, this program will help neighborhoods in five cities take another step forward.”

This would not have been possible without Wells Fargo, Rebuilding Together Twin Cities, MSR Architecture Interior and Urban Design, Donald Castle, Donnie Wells, and the many volunteers who participated in this project. We feel blessed and are truly grateful. Below are images of the renovation, the amazing volunteer, and incredible transformation that took place.
