HTH & The Woods Donation Wishlist
Updated Regularly.
Our furry friends (and the humans who care for them) could use a helping paw! If you're able to donate, here are the items we’re most in need of at Homeless to Home and The Woods Park & Pavilion.





Welcome to

Marion's Premier Outdoor Venue
Benefitting Homeless to Home Animal Rescue
We believe gathering together—under open skies, beneath trees, around shared moments—is essential to who we are as people. Celebrations, milestones, quiet conversations, and joyful chaos all deserve a place that feels safe, welcoming, and rooted in purpose.
At The Woods, we believe a venue can be more than a space. It can be a heartbeat for connection, compassion, and care—both for people and for animals.
The Woods Park & Pavilion is an outdoor venue where memories are made and meaning is woven in. Every rental, every event hosted here directly supports Homeless to Home Animal Rescue & Cat Sanctuary. This includes helping provide medical care, shelter, and second chances to animals who need them most.
We are locally grounded and deeply invested in the people who walk through our gates—whether you’re hosting a private celebration, planning a wedding, or attending a public event that brings the community together. From weddings and family gatherings to craft shows, festivals, and fundraisers, The Woods is a place where connection happens on every scale.
We strive to be flexible, kind, and collaborative, because we know life—and events—are rarely perfect. But when people come together with intention, they can still be deeply meaningful.
There’s no rental fee to set up at The Woods. Instead, we simply ask that you consider donating approximately 10–15% of your sales from the day to support Homeless to Home Animal Rescue & Cat Sanctuary. Your presence helps bring the community together — and your donation helps animals in need.
Any day the venue is not reserved for a private rental is available for food trucks to set up in our parking lot.
To help make your day successful, we’ll:
Create a Facebook event page and website event listing
Promote your visit across our social media platforms
Advertise the date on our roadside sign
(Weather permitting) set out our bright red Tube Dude to catch the attention of passing traffic
