- Yeah, so well, we have lots of different ways that people can give to support the restoration project.
It's a 10 phase restoration project.
We've completed about half of the phases.
- [Christine] And a lot of money was gifted to you by raising funds.
- Grants.
- [Christine] And Kim Blickenstaff.
- We are so grateful.
Kim Blickenstaff donated an amazing amount of funds to really kickstart the project that started back in 2019.
And now, so the kitchen is one of our major projects right now and we have a really great collaboration with Cafe Santa Rosa.
They've helped to develop our Cosecheras Coffee and a portion of every bag sold comes back to the women's club and goes towards our kitchen restoration project.
And our hope with that is that now we will have a commissary kitchen where we can really support maybe women business owners, do some more teaching of some of the skills, some of the kitchen skills, really open it up to be a wonderful resource for our community.
- So it will be a legit, pass health codes kitchen.
- [Anne] Yes.
- All right.
