We are delighted to share wonderful news : construction on the access road and sidewalks has officially begun. This milestone brings us closer to obtaining the Temporary Certificate of Occupancy (TCO) and opening the new building for our community’s use.
As we approach the finish line, your help is vital to completing this final stage. The total cost for paving is $250,000, and your contribution at this time will make a meaningful difference.
Through our “Help Us Pave the Way” campaign, you can sponsor a parking space for $2,500 or give any amount that feels significant to you. Every donation will be matched dollar for dollar by our Principal Sponsor — doubling your impact immediately.
We’ve included photos of the ongoing work so you can see how your generosity is transforming the site step by step.
Ways to Give:
All donations are fully tax-deductible under IRC 501(c)(3).
