DONATIONS TO THE SENIOR CENTER
We really need your help
We depend on the generous donations from our friends to keep our center programs and services active and thriving.
Frankly, we probably wouldn't be here if it wasn't for your support.
We can also always use paper products such as napkins or plates, coffee.
Silver Spoon Kitchen Project!
We are trying to finish our kitchen. Thanks to generous donors such as the Cedars, Troy Wiens, the Reuse It Center, as well as one very generous anonymous equipment donor, we are well on our way. We are now looking for special donations of cash and/or trade volunteers to get appliances in place and operating.
We are also on the lookout for kitchen cabinets (lowers) and a cabinet made to house two dishwashers with countertops.
We began a wish list that includes stainless tables, ice machine, salad bar,
warmers, tables and chairs.
We estimate the cost to be around $12,000.00 to create a
finished dining room and kitchen.
