The idea
Our project will enable us to finish restoring the roof of our cherished church, paying for repair works that were not originally thought necessary when we planned the full restoration. By completing this vital work, we will provide a safe environment for storing and preparing food supplies that support those in need within our community. This effort not only preserves the historical integrity of the building but also strengthens its role as a hub of kindness and care. With your support, we can safeguard this space for generations to come and continue our mission of helping others.
