Annual Fall Benefit

We celebrated 10 years at Friendship Ark Homes on September 19, 2009, at Prairie Moon Winery. The festivities began at 5:00 p.m. with music by SoundTrack. Guests enjoyed meeting and getting to know our core members, hors d’oeuvres by Ken Dunn, tasting of delicious wines, numerous silent auction items, and an exciting live auction!

Four on the Fourth
Supported by the Ames Community Grant Program

Each year we hold a 4K/4M race/walk around Lake Ada Hayden, on the morning of July 4th. This is a really fun way to raise money for Friendship Ark Homes. Prizes are given to participants and awards to winners.

Young or old, serious competitor or family out to enjoy a beautiful morning, our event offers something for everyone! Look for pictures of this year's race to be posted shortly.

A grant from the Ames Convention and Visitor's Bureau allowed us to advertise this event throughout the county and state.

Christmas Party 2008
We held our annual Christmas party at St. Cecilia’s Church on Sunday, December 7th. The festive evening included social time followed by a catered meal. Puppeteers from First United Methodist Church presented a program with a refreshing spiritual component. The core members loved their performance! We ended the evening with core members opening their gifts from Friendship Ark Homes. Attendees again brought warm hats, scarves and mittens to the benefit to be given to local children in need.
