The Raya House

Some recipes are about more than the food. 🤍

At Night of Hope, guests shared family recipes and gathered around the table for an evening centered on connection and hospitality.

These recipes will become part of a future Raya House cookbook, preserving a little piece of the stories, traditions, and people that make a house feel like home.

First up: homemade cinnamon rolls! 🍂 We’re sharing the ingredients and directions so you can try this cozy classic in your own kitchen, too. If you make them, we’d love to hear how they turn out!

Every child deserves to feel safe, loved, and known. This month, we’re setting aside time to pray for the children in foster care and the unique challenges they are facing.

Join us in prayer for their safety, healing, hope, and the people who are walking alongside them. 🤍

Night of Hope wouldn’t have been possible without the people who showed up, served, and gave their time so generously. Thank you to every volunteer who helped make this night so special!

Not everyone is called to foster. Everyone is called to care. 💛
There are so many ways to support children and families impacted by foster care, from becoming a CASA or foster parent to volunteering, supporting a foster family, or giving financially.
Not sure where to start? Send us a message! We’d love to help you find the best way to get involved.

Thank You, Willow Tree Farms 🤍

There are some people who don't just offer a space—they open their hearts to the mission behind it.

We are incredibly grateful to Willow Tree Farms and the entire Mashburn family for the generosity, hospitality, and love you have shown The Raya House. Your heart for children and families impacted by foster care is truly astonishing, and the way you have chosen to come alongside us means more than we could ever put into words.

Thank you for giving Night of Hope such a beautiful place to call home and for believing so deeply in what we are working to build.

The Mashburn family, you are such a special part of The Raya House story. Thank you for helping us Prepare a Place. 🏡💛

Thank You, Barry! 🎤🏡

If you were at Night of Hope, you already know… Barry Huber understood the assignment. 😂

From the very first auction item, Barry had the whole room laughing, bidding, and having an absolute blast. His energy and humor brought so much life to the evening, and Night of Hope truly would not have been the same without him.

Barry, thank you for giving your time and talent to The Raya House and for helping make such an important night so much FUN. We are incredibly grateful for you!

What a night. 💛

Because of you, Night of Hope 2026 raised $142,155 to help us Prepare a Place. And the gifts and pledges continue to come in today!

To every sponsor, donor, volunteer, partner, and guest who made this night possible—thank you. You showed up, you gave generously, and you reminded us once again what can happen when a community comes together for children in foster care.

We are so grateful. We will share more photos and details in the upcoming days, but for now… THANK YOU!

We’re preparing a place. And we’re doing it together. 🏡
