The Move Was Incredible!

It occurred to me today, that I never told the story of our move… better late than never, eh?

On April 4, we moved into Phase 1 of our facility with the help of over 150 fabulous volunteers in our community. Trucks and people literally poured into the parking lots of both buildings and miraculously, we were able to get everything from the old building and into the new in just over 4 hours!

Special thanks go out to the following:

* Bethany Swoape – for teaching us all of her amazing organizational tips for a smooth move.

* Chuck Miller and crew from The Paint Spot and many volunteers from Nappanee Missionary Church who provided several BIG trucks to move the big stuff (and people who knew how to drive them!)

* Moxie Robinson who took great pictures and documented the day!

* Trinity UMC Youth who spent 2 entire days here the following week (Spring Break) helping us get everything into place.

All of these people made it possible for us to open our doors on Monday April 13, after only 5 short – yet busy – days of closing.

Thank you Elkhart!
