Even after the sun goes down, our dedicated board of volunteers is busy gathering, sharing ideas, and planning the next steps in restoring this special building. Every conversation brings us one step closer to seeing our vision come to life.

We’re so grateful for the people giving their time, energy, and passion to this project. 💙

And yes, that shop light is currently pulling double duty as our meeting-room lighting… proper light fixtures are still on the to-do list! 😉

Our washrooms are nearly complete! 🙌

The biggest highlight of this project continues to be the incredible generosity we’ve received from our community. From donations of materials and supplies to people offering their time, skills, equipment, and resources — we continue to be amazed by the support coming our way.

Every donation, every helping hand, every encouraging word and every person who believes in what we're trying to create is helping bring this dream to life. ❤️

We truly could not do this without you.

So come along for a little walkthrough and see what your generosity is helping us build. There’s still a long way to go, but with this community behind us, we’re feeling more hopeful than ever.

Thank you for believing in this project and for helping us restore not just a building, but a place for our community to gather, connect and create memories for years to come. 🏡❤️

🚨 Protect Yourself from the Wildfire Smoke 🚨

With the current extreme smoke warnings, it’s important to take steps to protect yourself and your family.

Free N95 masks are available for pickup at 927 St. Joachim (located in front of the building). The masks are individually packaged and provide the best protection against wildfire smoke if you need to be outdoors.

Please take what you need for yourself and your family.

❤️ Stay safe, everyone!
