Is there anything else that you would like to add about Hands4Hope or your amazing support for our community?
Over the years we have watched the Hands4Hope Fall Festival grow into the highly successful event that it is today and we are yet again honored to be a part of it. Every year we look forward to the opportunity to pull the hay rides through El Dorado Hills Town Center with our antique tractor. We continue to support Hands4Hope- Youth Making a Difference because the service they provide our community through our youth is vital and unmeasurable.
Addision Hunt, the Hands4Hope youth participant who served as the 2024 Fall Festival Volunteer Management Chair, said, “The hay rides were a fun and engaging activity for the kids to be able to see all of El Dorado Hills Town Center during fall. They were so excited to be pulled by a real tractor!”
