Donations

We need to continue the renovation of our beloved 37-year-old community church building which was built by the Falkland and district community, including 5 different church denominations. Thanks to countless kind donations of time, talent, energy, and finances, plus much appreciated grants, we are making good progress.  

In December 2018, we installed two new 95% efficient furnaces.  In September, 2019, we hired a husband-wife team (JC Painting), who transformed the exterior of the church. They repaired the cracking stucco, refinished, and painted the stucco, weathered wood trim and antique wooden door.   In December, 2019, we had a metal security gate installed for the back stairwell which had been the site of ugly graffiti and other undesirable activities.  In 2020, an electrician replaced the old flickering, leaking fluorescent fixtures with energy-efficient LED lighting throughout the basement, including the kitchen and bathrooms. In 2022 the same electrician donated his labour to install lLED lighting upstairs.  

Last year brought the completion of several exciting projects.  Our 37-year-old worn, stained entire basement carpeting and linoleum was replaced with beautiful new vinyl planking, so much more suitable for food serving, and for babies and youth events.  The downstairs has all been repainted. With volunteer labour the downstairs has been sound-proofed, and our badly-deteriorated handicap ramp was replaced. We have coated our 37-year-old crumbling concrete front steps with beautiful new polymer, and coated the new handicap ramp with the same non-slip material.     

Our remaining projects include: Installing an AED device in case someone has a heart attack. Replacing the 24-year-old shingles on the roof. 

In November, 2018, we set up our temporary, special TLC fund-raiser for big repair and maintenance projects, but from now on, we'll ask that any contributions go through just the general fund of the Falkland & District Community Church & Fellowship Society (FDCCFS), to save a lot of extra bookkeeping for our hard-working volunteer treasurer.    

Any donation, from the smallest to the largest, is important and so appreciated. 

If you donate in memory of a loved one, we will put a beautiful little plaque (with his or her name, dates, and any other words you wish to include) on our memorial wall in the foyer.
