Today's progress, February 15th: the elevator penthouse is almost done.
The bottom of the elevator, the site of the most work.
“I’ll be glad when the elevator is done!” We hear these words all the time from mothers lugging strollers up the stairs to elderly men with health problems and everyone in between. For many of our residents an elevator will not be a luxury, but a necessity.
We are happy to report that each day we see the Sylvia Center coming closer to developing into an accessible building. And we look forward to the day when we can watch the children, senior citizens and chronically ill who live at CCO ride the elevator.
Over 75% of the funds have already been raised for the elevator. We still need $62,000 to finish the project. If you are interested in contributing to this vital project you can donate by using the green Donate button or you can donate by mail at:

About a week ago a wonderful group from the Korean United Presbyterian Church came and volunteered their time and resources to bless our shelter residents. They brought thousands of new socks to pass out along with yummy snacks to share. Children from the church choir came and serenaded those in our dining hall. We are very thankful for their service and friendship to us!
