Giving Tuesday 2025
Help us raise $50,000 between now and Tuesday, December 2nd! A very generous church has agreed to help us run a match campaign during this giving season. Every dollar raised up to $50,000 will be matched to raise money towards air conditioning in the upper level chapel. Find us on Facebook and Instagram to get real time updates throughout the day on December 2nd.
