Building Updates

We are very close to completing the activities building. The installation of the commercial kitchen was an involved process, but is almost done. Painting and electrical work is completed. Plumbing hookups are coming soon. Next, the floors will be painted to allow us to start moving in. The market barn is being used for indoor programming but we sure will be happy to move in to this beautiful building!

Thank you to generous donor Mary Fiebig, who provided funds for AACORN to purchase this gently used passenger van! Our participants will be so happy to be driven around in style. We appreciate you, Mary!
