Featured News: Canopy Removal and Building Refacing
Sage Haven Society is more than just a building; it’s a safe haven for individuals and families in need. The metal canopy at the front of the building is rusted, leaking, and was recently discovered to have lead paint, posing a health and safety risk. It is no longer repairable and must come down, and the entire building facade must be refaced. Sage Haven Society is turning to the community to help fund this critical project. The capital cost is estimated to be $30,000 – $40,000.
