Our Blue & White Picnic will kick-off the Second Wind Cottages project!

Something wonderful is happening in Ithaca!  The "Ithaca Jungle" went empty last winter, but the long-range challenge is to help formerly homeless residents find safe indoor housing year-round.

What would it be worth if we, as a Christian Community, could give hope to 6 formerly homeless men?  What would it be worth if we not only met their short-term housing needs, but also helped them regain healthy and productive lives?  And what would it be worth if the solution were "reusable" ... helping 6 men get housing and healthy lives, and then helping another 6 men, and another, again and again?

Second Wind Cottages is a vision to build small cottages located on the bus route near Ithaca, for formerly homeless men.  Land is being donated and construction of the first 6 cottages is set to begin in September, if funds can be raised for materials.

As September begins, what better way to enjoy an evening than sharing a meal with friends?  Join us for food, music, and to hear the vision of how Second Wind Cottages will provide small but safe homes for the formerly homeless in Ithaca!
