To our Red Barn "barnlord" since Oct. 2005
John Shulfer of J. S. Construction
John was working in his warehouse on a day when we were driving around looking for a place to rent. We saw his "red barn". His warehouse door was open, so we stopped in and asked if he would consider renting his barn. After thinking about if for a few days, he agreed. He also donated many items that were stored in it. This jump started our ability to store and organize our donations.
Many, many thanks
To our White Barn "barnlord" since June 2007
Bob and Lill Seegers of Seegers Grain
We had a temporary storage agreement in a building in Ridgefield, when the owner sold the building and gave us 3 weeks to move out. Tom Tewes, a constant friend, heard about this. In a matter of days, a meeting was set up with his long time friend, Bob Seegers. Bob agreed to rent half of one of his barn buildings to us. We now have more room than before, and house our clothing division in it. We are very grateful to the Seegers for their sacrifice at our time of need, and wish Gods blessings to them.
Paul has spent many hours, on many occasions, volunteering to do pick-ups and deliveries for us.
He has also used his carpentry skills to install windows and railings in our red barn
Meaghan has spent many hours on many different occasions, going back a couple years, running yard sales, and, bringing and delivering donations.
