WHAT’S A GRAND OPENING?
A Grand Opening is when the Allgire Foundation gets to provide residents of affordable communities with some of the basics that are so easily taken for granted. We want residents moving into affordable communities to have everything they need to succeed, such as pots and pans, dishes, silverware, trash cans, cleaning supplies, hygiene items, and so much more.
