A HISTORIC FIRST FOR CEA!
CEA Homeless Ministries has been awarded a $5,000 grant from The Rota Foundation—the first foundation grant awarded to our Building Bridges to Stability program!
To permanently recognize this milestone, we have designated the award:
The Ramp Creek Founding Grant Bridge
Built in 1838, Ramp Creek is Indiana’s oldest standing covered bridge and its only double-barreled covered bridge. Its two separate lanes symbolize the two individual bridges this grant may help complete—two people, two paths forward, and two opportunities for stable housing.
We are deeply grateful to The Rota Foundation for believing in our mission and investing in this work at such an important moment in its beginning.
This is more than a grant. It is hope, stability, and a way forward—one bridge at a time. ❤️
