RAINSVILLE, ALA. – On Saturday, December 2nd, the Glow Foundation orchestrated a truly memorable Serve event in honor of the ladies from The Father’s House, a faith-based, 12-month residential rehabilitation and discipleship program for women facing life-controlling challenges. Numerous community members, businesses, and volunteers collaborated on the event, which culminated in a banquet at The Barn at Blue Pond in Sylvania, Alabama.
A Day of Beauty and Pampering
The day began at the DeKalb County Technology Center (DCTC) Cosmetology Department in Rainsville, where the ladies received professional hair and makeup services. The facility, generously offered by DCTC, provided an ideal setting with stations, chairs, and styling tools readily available. Many of the stylists and makeup artists were DCTC students who eagerly donated their time and talents while gaining valuable hands-on experience. By the end of the day, nearly 30 women were treated to stunning transformations, ready to shine at the evening banquet.
Evening Banquet at The Barn at Blue Pond
The festivities continued at The Barn at Blue Pond, a venue that graciously hosted the banquet. Volunteers, including students, family members, and friends, worked tirelessly to serve meals, assist guests, and ensure the venue was spotless by the end of the night.
