Beneficiaries

Granville Homes is proud to have an opportunity to help with the under privileged, in our community. In 2006, Granville Homes introduced the Home of Hope project in an effort to raise money and help the less fortunate in our local area. The project has been well received and this will be the fifth year of the Home of Hope fundraiser.


Granville Homes has supported various organizations for some time and hope that through this project many of our neighbors in the Valley will get a chance to become familiar with their efforts, and hopefully become involved in these charities.

About Our Beneficiaries

Community Food Bank

Visit website


Community Food Bank (CFB) was established in May 1992 after a group of civic-minded citizens saw the need for more resources to feed the hungry in the Central Valley.


Today, Community Food Bank services more than 170 agencies. They range in size from large food and kitchen pantries, to very small distribution locations. The food bank has four major distribution programs that serve more than 46,000 individuals on any given week.


Because of their ability to purchase food at substantially discounted prices for every $1 donated to the Community Food Bank they are able to provide 8 times that value to the hungry in our community.

Poverello House

Poverello House is a private, non-profit, nondenominational organization that has been serving the poor since 1973. Thirty-four years ago, Poverello House founder Mike McGarvin began offering peanut butter & jelly sandwiches to the homeless and hungry of the community. Through the years, inspired by his example, others began to lend a hand. With the continuing support of the community, through volunteers and with donations, Poverello House now serves approximately 800-1,200 meals a day, 365 days a year.


Proceeds from the Home of Hope will enable Poverello house to continue to fulfill its mission each day by providing help, medical services, temporary shelter and many other services to the poor and homeless in our community.

Foundation for Clovis Schools

Visit website


The Foundation is here to give a helping hand to children who are having difficulty in school and in life. At-risk students in 4th through 8th grade are matched to caring, fully-trained adult mentors. Project SMART (Student Mentoring And Responsibility Team) at Clovis Community Day School provides students with an adult mentor for one year.


Support and guidance from a caring mentor can change a child’s life. Mentors provide children with academic tutoring; support counseling, positive and fun activities, a steady adult presence in their lives, and simply someone to talk to.


Proceeds from the Home of Hope will benefit Project SMART.

Foundation for Central Schools

Visit website


Since 2004, the Foundation for Central Schools has raised over $300,000 to invest in its students and teaching staff. This support has come in many forms such as: coats for kids, school site playgrounds, teacher mini grants designed to aid educational projects for students, and after school educational programs that offer district students an opportunity to enhance various leadership and learning skill sets. To expand the Foundations reach we plan within the next 12 months to offer Central Unified student scholarship opportunities that can apply to either a traditional college, or a trade school.


A portion of the Home of Hope benefits (approximately $10,000) is used to purchase coats for children in need in the winter. The balance of the funds will go toward teacher grants.
