Dessert Fundraiser brings in $75,000!

We’re pleased to report that a total of $75,000 was raised at the Jacob's Well Dessert Fundraiser on Saturday, October 15th! Originally, the total was $61,300, but a generous donor made a $13,700 contribution a couple of days after the event to get us to our next step in the project, which is installing the fire sprinkler system to keep families safe while living at Jacob's Well. Praise God, we're moving forward! Special thanks to Matt Case, radio host with KCMS 105.3 and the Seattle Children's Chorus. See the pictures!

The Windows Are In!

Thanks to Alderwood Community Church and Intermountain Glass for raising the money for the windows and doing all of the installation. They look beautiful!

Rain City Rotary.......You Rock!

Thanks to Rain City Rotary for all of your help on the Jacob's Well construction site. Your efforts take us one step closer to providing housing to homeless mothers and children in the Shoreline area. You ROCK!!

Great News! Your donation will be doubled by a generous matching gift from Campbell Nelson Nissan VW. For every dollar donated, they will match 100% up to $56,000. This is a great time to make a donation to help build Jacob's Well.

Thanks to Kurt and Craig Campbell, owners of Campbell Nelson Nissan VW.

Plumbing and Windows Start Today

We have been amazed and blessed by the outpouring of support on our new expansion project in Shoreline called Jacob’s Well. Nearly 500 volunteers from more than 30 different churches, community groups and businesses have been working tirelessly to frame the new complex. So far, volunteers have contributed over 8,000 service hours in about 8 weeks’ time and served 1,100 meals along with countless cookies, muffins and cups of hot coffee, all to make workers feel appreciated. We estimate that the volunteer effort has saved the project $180,000, which is an incredible gift during economic times like we are in.

Upon completion, Jacob’s Well will have 20 apartments, a counseling center and a child care center. It’s being modeled after the successful Vision House program in Renton, which has been providing transitional housing and support services for over 20 years.

What’s Next?

The roof is nearing completion thanks to Bob Hernaki and Redmond Roofing. Windows and plumbing starts today and next are the doors and siding. Since we are committed to building our facilities debt-free, the next fundraising step is to raise $340,000 to install the heat and lights. Every week of activity on the construction site brings us one step closer to bringing a home to homeless families.
