Annual Fund Drive 2023
The Mill is an essential space. In 2024 our historic building turns 70! Big plans are currently in the works that aim at addressing our growing community needs through a major renovation of the existing structure and the future addition of new permanent spaces. We need to raise $70,000 during the Annual Fund Drive to support critical projects that will enhance and protect our space.
Your gift today helps see these projects through while supporting our ongoing programming and general operations. Please help us ensure our beloved building is around for another 70 years.
