But we’re not done. Maybe we’re just getting started. So we’re launching a 10 year campaign to do some needed updates and celebrate the goodness of 10 years together. Here’s what we’ve got planned so far and how much we need to raise:
Furniture updates, replacement, aesthetic improvements and needed repairs to the original shelter: $10,000
Safety improvements to the driveway entry, fencing, garage repairs, landscaping after the addition and a new playground for the shelter: $105,000
Renovations on 2028 Mills Ave: our new office, guest space and emergency childcare facility: $50,000
Educational space buildout in our new addition: $7,000
Daycare start up for a new daycare for our families in affordable housing: $50,000
Summer camps and special events in the summer of 2024: $8,000
Art including Stations of the Cross for our new, expanded back yard, a new mural and paint job on 1801 Mills Ave, and a 10 year anniversary book to accompany the stations: $12,000
