Making our building greener
Rowntree is constantly trying to make our building ‘ greener’ , ie reducing our carbon footprint. In 2024 we partnered with Faithful Footprints of the United Church and Thomas Dyna-Build renovators of London to re-work the Brampton St. entrance. This job was completed in the fall but was more extensive than we’d planned; we found insulation missing, roof leaks and ventilation lacking from previous work which had to be fixed. So we ended up with a bigger bill than we figured: costs went from $27,600 to $43,800, some of which Faithful Footsteps covered. However, we should significantly reduce our natural gas usage and make our building greener. We’ve introduced a fund-raiser to pay this off : Green (Rown)Tree and asking for your financial help. So when you donate, please apportion some to this. Thank-You
We appreciate your donations
We appreciate your help- your care; your prayers, your donations, any time you help support our causes with your donations. Our church supports many community projects; 2 meal programs, VON programming, Scouts and Guide groups and many others. All these require a building, which requires heating, lighting and cleaning among other things.
There are three ways to make a monetary donation to Rowntree Memorial Church….
