    URGENT NEEDS

    Construction Trades Teaching Facility

    Urban Impact is outfitting a new space where they will teach construction trades.  They need help in purchasing and installing the following:

    • 2 – 100,000BTU  furnaces (the space currently has not heat)
    • 1 – 100 amp Sub panel
    • Branch circuits for woodworking equipment, lighting, receptacles, etc.

    These are actually immediate needs. 

     

    In our Construction Trades Program ,we teach kids how to use tools and they built carpentry based projects.

    The 2023-2023 school year is upon us and we're looking forward to a full year of programming!  One of our biggest needs this year is FOOD!  We need full meals for our Job Readiness class and snacks for Bible Studies and other programming.  Kortney mentioned that your wife might be a good person to ask about providing a meal for our Job Readiness class.  Is she available and interested in providing a meal for us in October or November?  Also, I remember you calling about your church having people who were interested in volunteering or having opportunities to provide for organizations in the community.  Would you be able to add meal providers and snacks to the list of ways we are looking for people to serve?  The specific details are below.
