    Bolt of Hope Helps Fund New Art Room for Local Non-Profit

    Recently, Bolthouse Properties’ Bolt of Hope team had the extraordinary privilege of gifting a grant to Global Family’s Daughter Project Girls’ Home (DPGH). True to Bolt of Hope tradition, the team had the joy of surprising Jennifer Jenson, the Founder of DPGH with balloons, a gift basket of art supplies, a giant check, and of course, open arms.

    The Daughter Project provides rehabilitative care to young female victims of human trafficking and commercial sexual exploitation. Since opening in 2017, they have welcomed over 150 young girls through their program. Looking for a more rural, therapeutic location that is less accessible to undesired activities and individuals, the organization acquired a new facility in 2022. The Daughter Project has been able to lend a helping hand to children and women rescued from sex trafficking with donations such as food, clothing, counseling, housing, education, employment, and medical services. This specific grant from Bolt of Hope team will pay for the construction of a therapeutic art room in their new location. This room will provide a beautiful, inspiring space for the young girls to foster peace and creativity while allowing them to explore their future possibilities.The DPGH provides rehabilitative care to young female victims of human trafficking and commercial sexual exploitation.

  • Bolt of Hope Funds New Roof Project At The Blessing Corner

    Bolt of Hope Funds New Roof Project At The Blessing Corner

    Earlier this month, Bolthouse Properties’ Bolt of Hope team had the honor of surprising The Blessing Corner Ministries with a Bolt of Hope Grant.

    Since 1996, The Blessing Corner has worked tirelessly to meet the needs of underserved members of the greater Bakersfield community. Throughout the year, The Blessing Corner hosts numerous outreach events, such as an annual Thanksgiving Dinner and Christmas Extravaganza. Additionally, they serve up to 1,750 food baskets and hot meals per week.

    Over the years, the organization experienced significant damage to their roof and floors and were in desperate need of a new roof and floors ahead of the winter season. Equipped with funds to meet their needs, the Bolt of Hope team enthusiastically arrived with balloons and a big check in hand to meet with Pastor John and Athena “Bonnie” Turner.

    The team was surprised to find roofing trucks already on-site when they arrived at The Blessing Corner. The team carried forward with the surprise, nearly bringing Pastor Bonnie to her knees. Pastor Bonnie shared that the local roofing contractor and owner of BSW Roofing & Solar, Ernie Martinez, recognized the urgency to protect the building from further damage and offered to start the work without knowing if he’d receive payment. Ernie began the project with nothing more than a deposit and a promise of faith. It was an incredibly moving moment to see such an act of faith fulfilled and, more than that, to be a small part of it.
