Dayspring Homes proudly welcomed over 50 guests to a special Open House and house blessing ceremony at its Harry Avenue residence on Tuesday, July 29th. The event marked more than the unveiling of a restored home—it was a deeply meaningful celebration of resilience, community, and renewal.
The home, which had previously suffered significant fire damage, has been beautifully rebuilt with the help of Dayspring’s dedicated team, volunteers, and community partners. The occasion provided attendees the chance to tour the revitalized home, connect with staff, and reflect on the organization’s mission to provide safe, supportive housing for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
Stacy Grube, CEO of Dayspring Homes, shared these heartfelt words during the event:
“Thank you so much for being here today. This is more than just an open house or a welcome—it’s a celebration of resilience, community, and restoration. Not long ago, this house stood in ashes—a painful reminder of loss. But today, it stands as a powerful symbol of hope and healing. With the support of our incredible partners, staff, volunteers, and this community, we’ve not only rebuilt a house—we’ve reignited the sense of home, stability, and belonging for the residents who live here.”
“At Dayspring, we believe a home is more than four walls. It’s where stories are shared, laughter echoes, and healing begins. That’s why today’s house blessing holds such deep meaning. It’s a tradition that invites peace, protection, and purpose into every room. It reminds us that a new chapter is beginning—not just structurally, but spiritually and emotionally.”
The event was a powerful reminder of Dayspring’s enduring mission to support adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities by creating environments where they can thrive emotionally, socially, and physically.
