Chair Lift Replacement Campaign
The campaign has now reached 85% of our goal of $100K. The lift is now in production by the manufacturer and the first installment payment has been made.
This campaign is a matter of both necessity and opportunity – the replacement of our aging chair lift. The current lift has served our community faithfully for many years, providing essential access to the Sanctuary, offices, the Parlour and lower level classrooms and Tape Hall for members and visitors with mobility challenges.
In August 2024, the lift broke down and was inoperable. preventing those with mobility challenges from fully participating in some vital aspects of our church life. In particular, this impacted the In From the Cold program over the last year.
