It's OFFICIAL!! Permits for the site development for Jacob's Well in Shoreline. The first phase will include 12 additional housing units for homeless families, a family support center and a licensed after school program. Watch it grow!

Funds Raised Toward Building Jacob's Well

I am so pleased to report that $56,282.22 came in the month of December to support the Jacob’s Well project in Shoreline. This is really great news! We will move forward completing the specifications with the architects which will cost around $3,000, put $5,000 aside for the permits and set the rest aside to draw from for the beginning stages of the site work.
