Last year, Community Energy Project directly served over 1,800 households by providing weatherization, lead poisoning prevention, and water conservation workshops; direct weatherization and safety repair services; job training; and connections to energy assistance. CEP is growing – each year we have more volunteers, more requests for assistance, and within the same timeframe. We have become a host site for two AmeriCorps members, and have created a new Volunteer Coordinator staff position. At the same time, like many nonprofits, we have experienced budget cuts.
On November 10, 2011, join CEP as we celebrate the community, our friends, and successes at our second annual fundraiser – Bridge the Gap! The party will be just up the street at the brand new Kiernan Community Center behind St Andrews Church. The party is from 6-9pm, but doors open at 5:30. We are going to have a silent auction, live music by local musicians, dancing, food, spirits, and more. Tickets to the event are $50 and can be purchased at our Event Page.
You may have helped CEP when we Raised the Roof last year. We raised $10,000 and we now have solid roof over our heads. (If you haven’t already, check out the Before and After Photos) This year we have more space, more experience, and we’re not afraid to use it!
If you are unable to come to the event, but would still like to contribute, visit our Donation Page and you can donate any amount from the webpage! Just click the dropdown menu for “program designation” and go to Bridge the Gap!
Very good programs. CEP has been great for the community.
Thank you, Mr Shaw! See you at the next Fix-it-Fair.
