Flooring for Chicago Youth Center
Tax deductible
Hi,
Our Chicago youth center needs new flooring. My name is Pastor Jason Platt of the Montrose Baptist Church in Chicago, and I am humbly asking you to come alongside us in raising money to cover the cost of materials for new flooring (the labor is being donated!).
The current tile flooring dates back to the late 1920's, and it has recently begun to flake away, creating an unsafe situation. The youth center, which is utilized weekly by the SI2 youth group, Boy Scout Troop 81, and our children's ministry, is now off limits. The situation has forced each of these groups to temporarily relocate. Needless to say, the Youth Center at Montrose Baptist Church is a special place to these kids, and we want to fix the flooring issues and get it up and running again as quickly as possible.
In 1996, at the age of 19, I packed up my bags into our family's 1985 Dodge Ram van and left a small town in Southwest Michigan to begin studies at Moody Bible Institute in the heart of Chicago. Little did I know that my first ministry assignment would be to a little church on Chicago's northwest side. Our job - help this church establish a positive Christian outreach to neighborhood children and youth.
20 years later, I'm still here! My wife Tanya and I have moved into the neighborhood and are pleased to be raising our four kids here. It is now my great privilege to serve as pastor of this church.
Please consider a donation to help cover the cost of this flooring project. No amount is too small...or too large! The labor is being donated by experienced volunteers, so the cost is for materials only. This is a $16,000 project that we are going to complete for $3,500. Any extra money raised will help us install a restroom in the youth center (currently kids must walk downstairs and to another building to use the restroom).
Thank you for coming along side us as we continue our outreach to children and youth here in Chicago!
