Thank you to the Richard S. Shineman Foundation!

We’re so excited to announce that we will be able to purchase new furniture and bookshelves for the children’s room, thanks to funding we received from the Richard S. Shineman Foundation! We’ll provide updates as we get into the project, and we’re hoping to begin around early fall.

We’re almost to our goal!

The grant from the Shineman Foundation will cover the cost of the new bookshelves and new furniture (the most essential part of the project) but we’re still trying to raise money to cover the cost of replacing the old carpet. We’re nearing our goal and hope that you can help us by either donating or spreading the word.

Here’s what we plan to do:

  • Replace most of the current bookshelves with ones that better suit the space, are mobile, and make it easier for kids and adults to browse.

    • Paid for with funds from the Richard S. Shineman Foundation

  • Replace the carpet with something more attractive and easier to maintain.

    • Raising funds through our GoFundMe Campaign

  • Update and replace our current furniture with more attractive, fun, and mobile pieces as well as activity centers for little ones to play at.

    • Paid for with funds from the Richard S. Shineman Foundation

  • Install a mini-makerspace where kids can learn and create.

    • Paid for with funds from the Garrett Dunsmoor Memorial Foundation.

  • Repaint the walls with something more fun and eye-catching.

    • Anticipating funds from another grant provider
