JPMorgan Chase

Earlier this year JPMorgan Chase closed 5 branches.  They decided to donate those branches to non-profits having an impact in the community.  We were the recipients of the branch located 5 blocks down the street from us.  In addition, the JPMorgan Chase Foundation made a 2-year grant to us to help with the renovation and to offset startup costs for new and/or the expansion of existing programs at this location.  We are thankful.  This will really help us as we are in need of space in the interim before relocating to the Community Center.

Maranatha Giving Update

For one(1) week in July Lifebuilders was the featured mission organization at this 77-year-old conference center on Lake Michigan where Billy Graham and so many others have spoken over the years.  This was the second time we have had the opportunity to share our work before hundreds of people from Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, etc.  It was a great week. At the end of the week of sharing the work and its impact the guests are asked to donate to the project that was presented.  We presented the Community Center as a project that Maranatha could help us with and they responded in an overwhelmingly generous way.  Their gift along with a matching grant from the Lloyd and Mabel Johnson Foundation has provided over $200000 towards the project.   We are grateful.

Thanks John!!  We are grateful.
