At Green Acres Landscape, Inc. and GA at Home, we believe that being part of a community means more than simply doing business here. It means showing up, supporting important causes, and finding opportunities to give back to the people and organizations working to make our community stronger.
Recently, our teams had the opportunity to attend the Courtney Place Veterans Housing Esprit de Corps evening, and it was a wonderful reminder of just how meaningful community involvement can be.
An Evening Supporting Our Local Veterans
Courtney Place Veterans Housing provides affordable housing and wraparound services for veterans, helping create stability and a path forward for people who have served our country.
The Esprit de Corps evening brought together community members, supporters, businesses, and partners who share an interest in supporting local veterans. For our Green Acres Landscape and GA at Home employees who attended, it was much more than simply another evening out.
Our employees truly enjoyed the entire event — from spending time together and meeting others in our community to learning more about the work being done to support veterans.
It was an evening filled with connection, conversation, and a shared sense of purpose.
Events like this are a great example of how businesses and community members can come together to make a difference. Supporting veterans is something our team is proud to be a part of, and we are grateful for the opportunity to contribute to an organization working to provide housing, services, and hope to local veterans.
Giving Back Goes Beyond One Event
Community involvement isn’t about participating in just one event. It’s about continuing to look for opportunities to help organizations that are making a difference right here at home.
That’s why we are also excited about another event we believe in: the Saddle Up Auction benefiting St. Francis Family Housing.
The Saddle Up event brings people together for an evening of dinner, community, and western fun while raising support for housing and services for families across Marion and Polk counties.
St. Francis Family Housing has a long history of helping families experiencing homelessness move toward stability and permanent housing. The organization’s work includes transitional housing, case management, life-skills support, and connections to other community resources.
The Saddle Up fundraiser has also become a meaningful community tradition. The event has been held at Crystal Springs Ranch, bringing together local businesses, families, community members, and supporters for a memorable evening while raising funds for an important cause.
For 2026, the Saddle Up Auction is currently sold out, which is a great reflection of the community support behind the event.
Why Community Matters to Us
At Green Acres Landscape, Inc. and GA at Home, we know that strong communities don’t happen by accident.
They are built by people who are willing to volunteer their time, donate resources, support local organizations, and simply show up when help is needed.
Whether it’s supporting veterans who need housing and stability or helping families experiencing homelessness find a safe place to call home, these causes remind us that everyone has an opportunity to make a positive contribution.
And sometimes, giving back is as simple as attending an event, purchasing a ticket, volunteering, making a donation, or encouraging someone else to get involved.
Two Causes We Are Proud to Support
The Courtney Place Veterans Housing Esprit de Corps evening and the Saddle Up Auction for St. Francis Family Housing are just two examples of the causes that Green Acres Landscape, Inc. and GA at Home are proud to support in our community.
Our employees had a great time at the Courtney Place event, and it was especially rewarding to see our team members genuinely enjoy being part of an evening centered around helping others.
We look forward to continuing to support organizations that are doing meaningful work throughout our community.
If you’re looking for a way to give back, consider volunteering your time or supporting a local nonprofit through a donation. There are so many worthwhile organizations doing great work across our community, and every contribution can help.
At Green Acres Landscape, Inc. and GA at Home, we’re proud to be part of a community that believes in helping others — and we’re grateful for every opportunity to give back.
