The commercial kitchen at our church is the heart of a mission that serves thousands of meals each month, yet it is straining under the weight of outdated, deteriorating equipment. Refrigerators, compressors, steamers, and other essential appliances are in constant need of repair, creating unpredictable breakdowns that disrupt food preparation and demand costly technician visits and parts replacements. This cycle not only hampers the efficiency of our dedicated kitchen staff but threatens the consistency of service to those who rely on us. To secure the future of this vital operation, we are seeking to establish a dedicated endowment. Unlike immediate-use donations, this fund will be invested, allowing contributions made today to grow over time. In a few short years, the returns will help us renovate and modernize the kitchen—bringing it into the current century and ensuring it can continue to serve our community with reliability and dignity for decades to come.
