The Hollow-Forever Free

The Hollow-Forever Free The Hollow is a faith-based, freedom-loving sanctuary where the whole community comes together to make memories.

Forever Free serves as a 10-acre playground paradise where children are welcome to play, learn and explore. But most importantly, they are surrounded by the many blessings we as Americans possess which are Freedom, Liberty and Patriotism. Forever Free offers so much to our youth with something special for each age, and all walks of life. The beautifully landscaped property offers tranquility throu

gh its visually pleasing sights and yet has an adventurous area that children can run, jump on a bounce house and zip-line across. In all aspects at The Hollow-Forever Free, we enable children to build relationships, what teamwork looks like through example and to connect with other children in the community.

Yesterday’s gardening class was such a great day.

Seeing so many people come out, spend time together, learn, laugh, meet new people, and just enjoy being part of the day was exactly what we hoped The Hollow would become.

The kids also helped us start our new Rock Garden!! They painted rocks, added their names, date and designs, and left one at The Hollow. As more families come to future events, we’ll keep adding to it — and over time, it will become a really special way to look back and see all the families who have been part of The Hollow along the way.

And this is only the beginning!! We’re getting ready to fill up the calendar with classes, events, gardening, family activities, emergency preparedness, community projects and so much more.

A special shout out to Karen Kelly Schaack for all the time and effort she put into planning and teaching such a wonderful class... and another big thank you to all of our volunteers for all of your help. We truly couldn’t do this without you.

And of course, thank you to everyone who came out and spent the day with us. It was all so natural, like we have always all been together... we’re so glad you were there.

If you want to be part of what we’re building, or if you have ideas for things you’d like to see us do at The Hollow, comment below or send us a message. We’d love to hear from you.

There is something really special happening here, and I can’t wait to see what we all build together next.

Tomorrows the day!!!!!!!See you there.

The Hollow Warehouse is already doing exactly what we hoped it would do — connecting donated items with people in our community who can truly use them. ❤️

We are so grateful to see the Warehouse filling up with generous donations and, even more importantly, to see those items finding new homes.

If you or someone you know could use anything in this post, please reach out to The Hollow Warehouse. And if you don’t see what you need pictured, ask — there are many more household items available.

Please share and help us get these donations into the hands of the people who need them.

This is community helping community. ❤️

Everybody in our house ended up getting sick, so I never got a chance to share these photos from our class with the John Birch Society!

There was a really wild storm that came through just as the class was starting so we had a lot of last minute cancellations but it was still a good turnout.
Michael Sabga did an amazing job, and such a great night. ❤️ The class was supposed to end at 9:00, but it was so good and everyone was so engaged that we didn’t end up leaving until around 10:30!
Thank you so much to everyone who came out and spent the evening with us. We truly enjoyed having you there. Here are a few photos from that night! 🇺🇸

Next Saturday!!!!! We're so excited

Have you been wondering what we've been up to lately? 👀

Behind the scenes, The Hollow has been growing in ways we can't wait to share. We're putting the finishing touches on several exciting projects, and you'll start seeing them roll out very soon.

Here's a little sneak peek of what's coming:

🖥️ The Hollows new website is almost ready.!!
❤️ Our Donation Center is so close to finally being open to serve our community.
📅 New events, family-friendly activities and meet up Mondays are on the way!!!!
🌿 More opportunities to learn about gardening, growing your own food, sprouting, canning, food preservation, medicinal herbs, and caring for farm animals.
🤝 Volunteer opportunities where you can learn new skills, meet new people, and be part of building a stronger community.

Most of all, we're looking forward to creating more opportunities to spend time together with people who love God, love our country, and want to be part of building this unique little community with us....
.so leave a comment below or send us a message and let us know what you're interested in. We'd want to hear from you as we continue creating programs, events, and experiences.

In the meantime, enjoy some recent photos from The Hollow.
.. Oh and one last thing...

🐐 Lucky refused to let me post this without including him. He's insisting that I share a picture of him because he's convinced he's the real star of The Hollow. 🙄 With those giant horns, it's hard to argue! He even volunteered to be our marketing manager... although we're beginning to suspect he's only in it for the treats and the attention. 😂
