BUILDING RENOVATION UPDATES

The West Wing bathrooms are officially competed! THANK YOU to you, to our community, and to Jenny Kahrl, for making this possible. We are overwhelmed with gratitude for each contribution to this project. It was a massive undertaking as we fully updated three bathrooms, and we extend a huge thank you and shoutout to Black Label Construction for all their work!

And now we move on to our next extensive project- the North Side Stairs. We still need your help as we only have $29,500 left to reach our overall fundraising goal!

The North Side Stairs are original to the building, and are in need of a full renovation. The total on this project is $150,000 to transform it into an ADA compliant stairwell. The handrails will be decorated with imagery that compliments the building's architectural details, and lighting will be added for further safety. We are excited to partner with PRG commercial to transform this highly-utilized historic entryway!

Thank you for shouldering the scope of this work alongside us. All donations are still being matched, dollar for dollar, by Jenny Kahrl, so your contribution doubles in impact!
