Boys Hope Girls Hope cut the ribbon in Richmond Heights Sunday afternoon as contributors, students and parents watched from Elinor Avenue. Ten boys and 10 girls will live in the two houses, which are across Elinor from Menards. An office building is in the middle between the two houses.

  1. what a beautiful outcome. the building is amazing, i don’t know the lot size difference, the placement here seems to make more sense than the lot they targeted in Brentwood. The families and children have to be pleased with the space.
    a job well done

  2. I am so glad that Boys Hope and Girls Hope found a home in Richmond Heights. I didn’t understand how Brentwood voted them down. We have our Joe’s Home here in Maplewood, and it does such good for the kids who for some reason or another, need some help to get through the hard times and get their education done. We support our Joe’s Home here, and I know that Richmond Height’s will be supporting their Boys Hope and Girls Hope too. Welcome to the neighborhood, kids.

    • Sorry, I meant to say Joe’s Place and not Joe’s Home…..I get mixed up on some of my words now a days…..(I guess I think of it as Joe’s Home….lol) Joe’s Place !!
