Draft Renovation Plan for 2013 and Beyond


Continuing Renovation

It’s truly heartwarming to walk around our Center and see the amazing amount of beauty and improvements that we’ve completed over the past few years. While we’re still catching up on some long-time deferred maintenance, your ideas, love, talents, time, energy, and donations are transforming our spiritual home.

Their unwavering presence has provided comfort and a sense of dignity to those who are often overlooked, offering a light in some of the darkest moments of these individuals' lives.
