A big thank you to Sydney Whiteley, Eagle Scout candidate, for completing a landscaping project around our Tiny Cabins at Hollis Renewal Center!

Sydney's hard work enhances one of the most welcoming spaces on our property, creating an even better experience for the many guests who come to Hollis for a peaceful retreat.

We are grateful for Sydney's dedication to making a lasting impact in our community. Thank you for choosing Hollis for your Eagle Scout project and for helping us care for this special place.

Hollis is proud to support Eagle Scout projects whenever possible. Thanks to the generosity of our donors, we strive to match the funds Eagle Scout candidates raise for their projects, helping them make an even greater impact. If you'd like to support future Eagle Scout projects at Hollis, we'd be grateful for your contribution.
