A HUGE Thank You to the generous donors who made our much needed Warming Hut upgrade possible. The Hut now has a new roof, siding and an outdoor fire pit. The metal cladding was donated by Econospan Structures Corp., the lumber was donated by Scotch Creek Home Hardware and the fire pit materials were purchased through a donation from TNRD Area Director Mel Rothenburger. Special mention to Woody’s Wholesale Lumber for custom building the incredible benches.
