Early yesterday morning, Power House was broken into again. A brick was thrown through the back window where the old air-conditioning unit used to be, allowing someone to force their way in. They ransacked the entire space—pulling apart cabinets, damaging the AC unit, and our water heater. They stole food and supplies from our pantry. The electrical box was damaged, and the copper wiring and pipes were also stolen.

Still, the damage is significant. The cabinet in the kitchen was ripped out, and the shattered window is now a major vulnerability—exposing us to potential water damage and future break-ins. MPD has been notified and is making a report. We're documenting everything, but right now our biggest concern is securing the building immediately.

We urgently need your help to:

• Board up and repair the broken window

• Assess and fix any damage to the water heater and AC unit

• Reinforce security to prevent future break-ins

• Restock our food pantry

• Fix the multiple issues from the break-ins

We’re calling on our community to support us in this unexpected moment. Any amount you can give will go directly toward restoring and securing Power House so we can continue the work that matters to all of us.

Thank you for always having our backs. Let's keep Power House strong.
