Fundraising Effort Underway for Church Generator
Our church community is currently raising funds to purchase a Generac generator to support our bake sales and protect the many hours of work contributed by our volunteers.
The bake sale is one of our most important fundraisers and requires significant food storage. At present, we utilize 14 freezers and 3 refrigerators to store the items our volunteers spend countless hours preparing. Unfortunately, during nearly every sale, we experience power outages due to storms or other unforeseen issues. These interruptions put our entire inventory at risk.
A loss of power could mean losing not only the food itself, but also the time, effort, and expense that go into preparing it—along with the funds we rely on from the sale. To help prevent this, we are working to purchase a generator that will keep our equipment running in the event of an outage.
The total cost of the Generac generator is $16,000. To date, we have raised $4,500 toward this goal. We are grateful for the generosity shown so far and ask for your continued support.
If you would like to contribute, please write your name on the clipboard located next to the guest book in the narthex. If you have any questions, please speak with Delores Minor.
Thank you for helping us protect and sustain this vital ministry.
