Thanks for everyone who contributed during our December challenge, we received large and small donations, totaling nearly $4,000. We are grateful for everyone makes our work possible.
Donations made during the month of December 2024 were doubled from a challenge match by a generous long-time member and Rachel Carson fan.
The funds will allow us to obtain some much-needed repairs on the house, and seal-up the board-and-batten classroom. Since the classroom was built, some wood shrinkage resulted in gaps. These can now be fixed, and other improvements will make the room more comfortable. Several large groups will visit later this spring and summer, and can make use of the extended facility.
We couldn’t have continued without you – through COVID, construction, and other challenges. Generousity of spirit and the volunteer work we do is important, but it also takes money to provide our services. Whatever you can contribute is always most sincerely appreciated.
2025 is the 50th anniversary of the nonprofit Rachel Carson Homestead Association protecting the house where Rachel was born and lived, and promoting her legacy.
Thank you for participating!
