Latest Update

2/16/2026- The contractor installing the steel structure started on December 1st to erect the building and is making good progress despite heavy winds and some snow. The exterior structure of the building is complete and next is interior wall insulation.

3/23/2026- Fundraising Update: We have completed the steel structure and our building is ‘dried in’. Fundraising for the interior wall insulation is complete (Thanks to God helping us with the Italian Breaking Bread FUN-raiser Meal. Insulation has been ordered and when it is here we will install it.

5/18/2026- Fundraising for our interior Framing has begun. This will include the materials for main and upper level wall web trusses and framing so rough-in electrical and plumbing (the next parts of this phase) can be done. This portion of the next phase is estimated to cost $72,450. To date we have raised $9,199 (about 12%) of that. While we’re raising these finances we are skim-coating and dying the portion of the floor concrete that will be a final finish.

Next Milestone

Our next milestone will be when we get the concrete floor dyed and the interior wall insulation installed and ready for interior framing.
