Non-Profit Spotlight: Agape House of Prescott

Homeless Services in Prescott
Families who find themselves in economic despair, and living in crisis, find hope at The Agape House of Prescott. Agape House is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization that provides long-term transitional housing for families without a residence. They work to rebuild and transform families’ lives and prepare them for an independent and self-sustained future.
The face of the homeless is not who you may think. They are families living on friends’ couches, living in the forest, in parking lots, and trying to manage a family while living in a car. They may be students, waiters/waitresses, or workers at Thrift Stores, Grocery Stores, and Construction sites.
As a Christ-based nonprofit, Agape House helps families rebuild and transform their lives through love, support, training, prayer, and the security of having a home. Agape House is not a shelter but a place to call home—an interim place to raise their family, rebuild relationships, and prepare for independence.
About Their Program
Agape House journeys with the families every step of the way during the rebuilding and transforming process. The Pathway to Independence gives families a place to call home. The support system is a four-phase program of stability, personal wellness, life skills training, and sustainability. Their full-time mentors lead a team of 60+ volunteers that continually support the families by mentoring, coaching, and building relationships so that the families can thrive and succeed.
Agapeville
As Prescott’s only family-inclusive interim housing community, Agape House needed a permanent facility where families could find safety, stability, transitional housing, and support as they work to rebuild their lives. Agape House was able to make that need a reality. Recently, the Agape House purchased a nine-unit apartment complex near downtown Prescott. The apartments not only provide a secure place to call home, but they also offer a community of support. Families help families, mentors have a central location to meet with the families, and kids have a place to play and be kids. For many of the children, this is the first home that they have ever had.
Celebrating 10 Years!
Agape House of Prescott is Celebrating ten years of rebuilding the lives of families in Prescott. In the past ten years, Agape House has worked hard to provide more than 40 families (146 individuals) 32,513 nights to call home. At their “Boots & Blessings” ten year celebration Gala on July 20th, they aim to raise $200,000 to increase the number of families they can help at Agape House. Get tickets for their Gala here!

BHGRE BloomTree Realty has a couple of simple goals; deliver the best service possible to our clients and be a supporter of important causes in the community in which we live. In short, we strive to be better and give back to our communities.
Back Brad: A Fundraiser to Support Local Leader Brad Newman
100 Men Who Care, in collaboration with Prescott Area Women Who Care, is hosting a community fundraiser to help the financial needs of Yavapai Exceptional Industry’s Executive Director Emeritus Brad Newman, who suffered a stroke last year.
Brad Newman has been a leader in YEI for over 40 years and has created countless job opportunities for those with disabilities throughout Arizona. His passion for helping others and dedication to his job have inspired many within the community.
“Those who know Brad, love Brad. He has been a big part of this community for more than 40 years. He was first to step up when someone needed a hand, and now it’s our time to step in and give him one,” stated Ron Fain of Fain Signature Group, who leads the 100 Men Who Care organization.
“This event is an incredible opportunity to support an amazing man who has lived a life of selfless service while enjoying fellowship, some food and drinks with friends who all have a connection to Brad,” stated 100 Men Who Cares board member Patrick Kuykendall. “Everyone is welcome, and we hope you’ll join us in supporting Brad Newman as he continues fighting through his recovery!”
The event will take place on Thursday, May 18, 2023, at 5:00 pm behind COLT Grill in Prescott Valley on the Town Center turf park, with live music by Road One South. It will be an evening of music, food, and fundraising, with all proceeds going towards Brad’s recovery and future care. Brad’s family and community members will speak and provide stories about his recovery and his tireless service to the community. The goal is to raise $50,000+ and Bring Brad Back home to Prescott, where he can continue his care.
Tickets are $100 per person and includes food donated by Rosa’s of Prescott Valley, and live music by Road One South. There will be a cash bar. Attendees will also have an opportunity to bid on handmade picnic tables and planters by the workers at YEI and other items donated by generous contributors during the live auction. All monies raised will go towards providing a home for Brad where he can get care and also help with his medical and insurance costs.
The event is supported by 100 Men Who Care, Prescott Area Women Who Care, Rosa’s Pizzeria in Prescott Valley, The Fain Family Foundation, and Helken & Horn Advertising Agency.

10 Ways to Keep Your House Safe While You’re Away

It is a fact Prescott, Arizona, is an excellent destination for a vacation. People visit Prescott from all parts of the country (and the world) to visit our beautiful town. Buy, what if you are a Prescott resident and opting out of a staycation this year and vacationing elsewhere? While you are away, there are simple strategies that you must take to ensure your home is safe while you are gone.
Before you leave town, there are a few safety tips to keep your home and possessions safe while you’re gone.
Often in the prep time for a vacation, people neglect to take simple steps to protect themselves from becoming victims of theft or vandalism.
You’ve probably covered your bases, but just in case, here are ten necessary precautions you can take when leaving for a vacation:
- Have someone collect your mail and newspaper daily. If you cannot have someone pick up your deliveries, have the Post Office hold your mail and put your newspaper subscription on a vacation hold.
- Do not draw attention to something different at your home; leave shades and blinds in regular positions.
- Purchase inexpensive timers from the hardware store and put at least two lights and a radio on automatic timers.
- Have someone leave trash at your curb on garbage collection day. Even though arranging for someone to set out your trash may be challenging, this detail catches the thief’s attention.
- Have someone park a car in your driveway occasionally. If you leave your car outside, arrange to have it moved sometimes.
- Leave a key with a trusted neighbor in case of an emergency. Inform the neighbor about where you are going and your expected return date. Leave them a way to contact you in case of an emergency.
- Lock all windows and doors before you go. Remember to double-check the basement and garage doors.
- On extended trips, have someone maintain your landscaping (grass mowed, leaves raked, etc.)
- Consider turning off your home’s water main to prevent possible damage from a burst pipe. If this isn’t an option, turn off your wash machine valve because this is the number one culprit to explode when no one is home.
- Be careful how much you check in on social media while on vacation. If your privacy settings are incorrect, you might reveal your vacant home to strangers!
We sincerely hope you stay safe and have a great vacation. It is worth repeating Prescott is a fantastic place for your vacation. It may be time to purchase a vacation home or a vacation rental. It may be time to call Prescott your home. Give BloomTree Realty a call, we would love to show you what is available. Contact us at (928) 443-8800.
Refreshing Beverages to Pump Up Your Festivities!

We are officially in Spring! Bring on the blooming flowers and warmer weather! With Spring comes baby showers, house warmings, family get-togethers, and more. If you want that extra special touch to make your event pop, consider adding a refreshing spring/summer beverage! Here are a few flavorful options:
Lemonade Stand
Consider setting up a lemonade stand for your guests to enjoy! A classic summer drink, lemonade is cool and refreshing. Get creative, and add other fruity flavors, such as strawberry or watermelon.
Ice Tea Bar
Like the lemonade stand, an iced tea bar is a great option for your event. Offer pre-mixed pitchers of various flavors, or opt for a build-your-own station! Allow each guest to customize their drink.
Mimosa Station
Champagne, sparkling wine, chilled citrus juice, and you are set. Have several pitchers full of juice combinations and encourage them to mix and match until they find their favorite flavor combination. Offer a few bottles of ginger ale or sparkling water for a non-alcoholic option.
Frozen Drinks
If you want to make an impression, frozen drinks are the way to go! Keep it classic with a daiquiri or pina colada station, or get creative and offer unique frozen drinks like mango margaritas or strawberry bellinis. Whatever options you choose, your guests will love these refreshing summer cocktails!
Wine Bar
Create an elegant wine bar for a sophisticated touch. Have a few chilled wines ready to go, and consider offering a selection of cheeses or charcuterie boards to accompany the drinks.
Signature Cocktails
Personalize your event with mocktails or cocktails. Below we have included a few customizable mocktail options to spark some inspiration:

Lower Your Heating Bill this Winter

Over the last few weeks, the Prescott area has woken up to a blanket of breathtaking snow! With the drop in temperatures, you may notice an unwelcome increase in your heating bill. Here are ten tips to lower your heating bill this winter and still keep cozy!
- Clean Your Furnace: Make sure to have your furnace routinely serviced and cleaned by a professional. This ensures that it runs efficiently, saving you money on your monthly bill.
- Replace Furnace Filters: Replace your furnace filters regularly to ensure it is working correctly. Clogged or dirty filters can reduce the efficiency of your system, leading to increased energy costs.
- Install a Programmable Thermostat: Invest in a programmable thermostat, which you can program to maintain a comfortable temperature while you’re home and lower it when no one is around.
- Weather Stripping: Inspect your home for any drafts or leaks in windows, door frames, and other areas where cold air can enter. If you find any cracks, use weather stripping to seal them up!
- Cover Your Water Heater: If you have an outdoor water heater, make sure to insulate it properly in the winter months. Covering it with a blanket or wrapping it will maintain a higher temperature for longer. Water heater blankets can be found for $20 – $40 at most hardware stores.
- Turn Down Water Heater Temp: Lowering the water heater temperature to 120 degrees Fahrenheit will help reduce energy consumption and, in turn, lower your bill.
- Switch Your Ceiling Fans: In the winter, switch your ceiling fan to run clockwise. This will help circulate heated air throughout the room more efficiently and evenly.
- Closed Unused Vents: If you are not using a room, close the vents. This will save energy by not heating rooms that no one is occupying.
- Thicker Curtains: During the colder months, invest in thicker curtains or drapes for your windows. When the sun goes down, they will help with insulation by blocking out the cold.
- Take Advantage of Natural Heat: During the day, open curtains and blinds to let in natural sunlight. This will help heat your home naturally and reduce energy usage.
By following these simple steps, you can save money on your heating bill this winter while still staying comfortable! Remember, wearing extra layers around the house is always a great way to keep warm without turning up the heat. Throw on your fuzzy socks and a sweater, and enjoy the winter season!
