The very first official event of The HCRH. This event took place over 3 days, and had support from approximately 20 volunteers. The initial painting project was advertised through physical fliers and social media outreach. This is the one that started it all!

In July 2026, The HCRH received a formal blessing from the legendary Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence (DFW Chapter.) At the event, the public was welcome to meet The Sisters and take photos. We also had a tea party with cookies to commemorate the special visit.

Several Tarrant County Texas democratic candidates came to The HCRH in August 2026 to support a community fundraiser for HD91 candidate Yisak Worku (pictured right) including Heli Rodriguez Prilliman, Nathan Smith, Kevin Burge and Linsey Fagan. The event also included a food truck, live music from Morgan & The Wright Tones, and Linsey Fagan's coloring book signing.

In September 2026, a group of volunteers came to complete the paint job in the back yard of The HCRH. With a ton of spraypaint and just 3 hours of time, the entire back side of the house was converted into a funkadelic rainbow that mirrored the front facing sides of the home.

In September 2026, volunteers built the HCRH Little Free Library for the community to enjoy on behalf of QueerQuest. The shingles are decorated hexagons that people from our previous events decorated to brighten up the look and add a piece of themselves to the house. So many books were donated that a proxy bookshelf had to be installed on the front porch! The Little Free Library is also a Pokemon GO stop.

The HCRH ran a series of free movie nights for the community that ran for 3 weeks in October 2026 to celebrate the Halloween season! Pictured is the crowd from the first installment, "Hocus Pocus." Every Friday was family-friendly, while every Saturday was R rated and BYOB for adults only. Additional films included Weapons, Beetlejuice, A Nightmare on Elm Street, The Nightmare Before Christmas, and Rocky Horror Picture Show.

From October 16th until November 6th 2026, a community ofrenda (altar for offerings) was erected to give the community a way to express memories of their loved ones who have passed away. People brought photos, personal notes and trinkets to celebrate the lives of those who are no longer here and to pay their respects to the deceased.
