If you haven’t heard, we are building a brand new multipurpose building at our Retreat Center that we are calling the Lodge! We broke ground in August 2023 and expect to be housing our volunteer families by the beginning of our 2024 Retreat Season. By the end of summer, we hope to have the entire facility finished, furnished, and ready for our families to enjoy!
What is the Lodge?
The Lodge is a MUCH-needed multipurpose building at our Retreat Center in Scottsville, KY. In short, this new building will provide additional sleeping quarters for volunteers (no more bunkhouses!), a calming sensory room, an indoor playroom, and a large open space for indoor activities and lounging. But of course, having this extra space means so much more than that! This building will allow us to keep the fun going even when the weather is keeping us inside. The Lodge will also open up opportunities for us to host more activities year-round at our Retreat Center—possibly even the ability to extend our Family Retreat Season.
Purchase a Personalized Brick to Launch the Lodge!
We have been so blessed to receive grant money and donations to help get us this far in the construction process, but we are not to the finish line just yet! We still have to fully furnish the volunteer quarters and lounge space with all the comforts of home as well as outfit our calming sensory room and playroom. You can now make your mark on the Lodge by purchasing a personalized brick in honor of a precious friend of in memory of a treasured loved one. The bricks will be used to a pave a feature just outside of the Lodge where guests of the Retreat Center can take a moment to rest. You can purchase a brick by visiting fundraisingbrick.com/thelodge/! If you would prefer to support the Lodge with a financial donation, you can donate here now.
Options for businesses to purchase logo-branded bricks are now available!
