The Commons Needs YOU!
We are excited to announce that—thanks to the nearly 250 donations from our cherished community—recent pledges have brought our promised total to enough to pay off our building note!
We are so close to meeting our original campaign goal, which also includes fundraising for our kitchen remodel. As often happens with such endeavors, both the construction costs and the required length of the cafe’s closure have increased since the remodel began. With the ownership of our building now within grasp, we are seeking to raise an additional $50,000 from our current amount toward this end. We have a matching offer of $10,000 that would be a great start to covering these expenses!
Every gift, big or small, counts! We are able to receive donations via cash, check, credit card, corporate gift matches, and even stocks! You can make a donation in one of the following ways:
Online at swcommonscafe.org/donate
By mail at PO Box 222, Langley, WA 98260
By contacting Board President Wendy Cordova at swcommonsmgmt@gmail.com or (425) 444-3391
Thank you so much for your continued support and for all of your generous donations to Preserve the Heart of Langley and Save The Commons! We truly could not do this without you all, and we are so excited for what lies ahead once our brand new kitchen is complete!
