Dining Hall Project
David Thompson is raising funds to replace our existing dining hall/kitchen. We are planning a one level building that will be 52 feet by 100 feet. We have raised over $400,000 out of the $735,000 we are estimating this building will cost. Our focus for expanding the camp with this new building is to have it available for public use and rentals all year round. Join us in our project in prayer and if you would like, you can donate by cheque or e-transfer to office@dtbc.ca. Please designate the funds for the Dining Hall Project. Thank-you to all those who have already donated!
DINING HALL/KITCHEN FUNDRAISING UPDATE
To date we have raised just over $400,000.00 with a promised grant of $50,000.00 (if construction commences by Spring 2025). The estimated cost of the new build at this time is $735,000.00.
So as you can see we have a great start on the fundraising, but we need to raise more funds.
We are still doing the bottle drive (on an individual basis). If you have bottles you can take in and make the donations to DTBC Building Project, it would be greatly appreciated.
There are still RADA knives for purchase. If someone wants RADA paring knives or peelers, they can let Helen Burake know. Helen’s phone number is 780-814-9880. The knives are $10.00 each and the peelers are $12.00 each.
There is also another way you can contribute. It will cost approximately $150.00 per square foot to build the new building. If you want to donate toward square footage, you can do this by indicating on your donation that it is for the square footage, for the new dining hall/kitchen.
If you can think of an individual or company that may be interested in donating, please contact them and let them know what we are building, or let one of the fundraising committee members know, so we can contact them.
This is a worthwhile and needed project and we thank everyone for their support and donations so far!
Any funds can be forwarded to David Thompson Bible Camp, P.O. Box 2455, Fairview, AB, T0H 1L0 and designated for the Building Project, or for operational costs for the camp. Funds can also be sent by e-transfer to office@dtbc.ca.
The fundraising committee members are: Therese Mills (780-864-8677); Dave Brisbin (780-834-8208); Stan Braim (780-835-0872); and Helen Burake (780-814-9880). You can also contact Mike Hicks, Chairperson of the DTBC Board (780-500-1314).
In addition to the needed funds for the new building, the camp is also in need of donations for operational expenses. It would be greatly appreciated if you could consider both areas when you make a donation.
