We are hard at work renovating the duplex that will one day house the collective, but we need tools, supplies, and funding to hire professionals for the tricky stuff (electrical, roof repairs, etc). We’re doing everything we can on our own, but we need some help paying for the supplies! When the space is finished, we have dreams of a small library / computer area for the neighboring community to have access to, as well as workshop space in the basement for workshops and resource sharing, and community meeting space in our 2nd living room. Every dollar helps! Non monetary support in the form of borrowed or cheaply sold tools (from hammers and crowbars to drills and circular saws), extra hands to help us fix up the house, and any expertise/advice on home renovation are all welcome as well! Get in touch with us at brickandmortar@che.coop if you have any ideas or questions.
