McPherson Kitchen New Stove
Donation protected
Camp Barnard is a not-for-profit camp used year round by youth and other organizations to deliver their program. The camp supports not just Scouting and Guiding, but school groups, faith groups, children in need, and many other community based groups. McPherson and Totem Lodges are the most heavily used facilities at Camp Barnard. More information can be found on the camp's website at www.campbarnard.ca
There are three commercial kitchens at the camp and the stove in McPherson lodge is the oldest and has been there since at least 1974 and is so old that we can't get parts. The stove needs $600 worth of repairs just to keep it functioning (12% of the value to replace the stove) and that will only gain us a few months of service.
We had not budgeted to replace this stove this year which is why we are requesting your support to replace this stove. 100% of the funds raised will go to replace the stove with a brand new version of the same gas stove (6 burners, 2 ovens, grill, and salamander).
We hope to be able to order the stove by July 1st so it can be shipped, converted to propane, and installed by the end of July.
This request is coming direct from the Camp Barnard Management Committee (all volunteers) and we hope that you can see the need and benefit to replacing this stove.
