Greetings Tiny Home Builders and Friends!

.

 

 

.

Help us raise the funds to build more tiny homes.

There are 3 ways you can help right now

.

1. Sound Foundations NW is hosting a fundraiser showing of Trickle Down Town at Ark Lodge Cinemas to raise money for building tiny homes at Camp Second Chance. Our goal for 2019 is to replace the remaining 18-20 tents with tiny homes. Get your tickets here. We hope you can be part of the event. 

2. If you are unable to attend but would still like to be part of this incredible project we have a Gofundme were you can easily contribute. Remember, 100% of your donation goes to materials. We have no paid staff.

3. If you are unable to donate, please share these events with your network. Email, Facebook, clubs, churches, etc. The more folks that know about our efforts the closer we will get to our goals. Thank you for your support.

Camp Second Chance went to Olympia to meet with Senator Joe Nguyen and testify in favor of bill  SB 5946 Photos of the trip can be found hereWatch them testify here.  Their testimony starts at about 1:10:00.

 

This Saturday is maintenance day in the build tent  

Sign up here.

Last week we completed 2 more homes and are working on the moving system that will allow us to place the homes on site. In the meantime we are having a maintenance day before we start on the next tiny homes. Mark will have small projects for volunteers to make the work tent more functional. Thank you to all who contribute and participate in this community fueled project. We are making a difference in people’s lives and at the same time are changing the conversations and expectations. I like to say that we challenge the world with our actions, not our opinions.
