Home Sweet Home
Home Sweet Home had its inaugural gingerbread house decorating event at the Belleview Inn in Belleair to benefit the Salvation
Army’s homeless prevention program. Awards were presented to the decorators of the gingerbread houses in a variety of categories,
and the Judge’s Choice Award was given in memory of the late Betty Jo Andrews. The funds raised will help give hope to single
parents and their children living in Hope Crest, the Salvation Army’s supportive housing.
