Dear Friends and Supporters,

We are thrilled to announce that the 48th Tour of Distinctive Homes, organized by Bath Volunteers for Service (BVS), has been a resounding success! Thank you to everyone who bought a ticket to the Virtual Video Tour and to those who attended the 3rd Annual BVS Home Tour Watch Party. We especially want to thank the homeowners who opened their stunning homes to the tour. We hope you enjoyed the tour of the six featured homes.

Community Impact

Your support is crucial to our mission of improving the Bath community and the Greater Akron area through service. In 2026, BVS awarded over $58,000 to a diverse group of nonprofit organizations that benefit families and children, including those fighting poverty, reducing food insecurity, providing crisis intervention and mental health services, as well as annual scholarships and merit awards for volunteerism to local students. This achievement was made possible by patrons like you who support our annual home tour and other BVS fundraisers, which include the Bath Horse Show in August and Trivia and Tacos in November.

In January, our grants committee will convene to review applications from local nonprofits. Be sure to visit our website, bathvolunteersforservice.com, next spring to see which local non-profits will benefit from your generosity.

Looking Ahead

Planning for the 49th Tour of Distinctive Homes in 2027 will begin this fall. Check back early next year for updates on what promises to be another fabulous tour.

We are deeply grateful for your continued support and belief in our mission.

Sincerely,
Members of Bath Volunteers for Service
