Best Table: Display your decorating skills by hosting an 8-seat table for an elegant party, from glassware to silverware. Decorate with on-trend pastels and a romantic twist, or use monochrome beige or whimsical for beautiful simplicity. Plan to create a festive atmosphere for a memorable time with your loved ones. Be sure to purchase our residents’ handmade desserts to treat your table guests. We provide a black tablecloth. Table setup is on Friday, August 7th, 1 pm-6 pm.
Best Hat: Wear your most prominent and trendy hat. Men and women choose from elegant to outlandish. Let your personality shine.
Best Dressed: Ladies, wear anything from spring dresses to pantsuits. Gentlemen, wear lightweight sports jackets and slacks or preppy Bermuda shorts, a sports jacket, and a pair of sunglasses to match. Neckwear is the easiest way to make your Kentucky Derby outfit as unique as you are, from a luxurious silk traditional tie to a Southern-inspired bow tie.

To bring God glory despite dark circumstances, our ministry meets many needs of the women we serve. When a woman arrives under our care, our top priorities are medical treatment, mental health, medications, eye exams, and dental care to address infections.
We replace stolen government documents, such as birth certificates, official IDs, and Social Security cards.
Creating a safe space for recovery, a home, 24-hour staff, costs for maintaining the four-bedroom home, and a 50-acre property demand monthly bills and unexpected ones. We utilize volunteers and do our best to teach home upkeep to our women.
Beautiful Feet cuts costs using the SNAP program and food banks, but not all food and supplies are donated. Local churches and individuals send clothing, shoes, paper products, cleaning supplies, hygiene products, and more to help.
Beautiful Feet stewards donated money in a God-glorifying way.
