What is
The Hub?
A Hub (7,000 sq. ft.) of space previously rented to an insurance company on Pickering Pentecostal Church property that requires total renovation that will be multi-functional. Contractor quotes indicate a cost of roughly $1Million to bring this space up to code and operational.
​
It will create a safe place for the community to gather and belong. It will provide holistic support for both youth and seniors with connections, engagement, empowerment and integrated programming.
​
The Hub is primarily for youths & seniors, but will also offer family programs such as Mommy & Me, Grief Share, and Autism support.

HOW
We will fund-raise to provide for this multifunctional space in a variety of ways:
We utilized a Silent Auction at the 60thanniversary banquet in May and raised nearly $10,000.
As of June 1st, we had raised $275,000.00 which includes pledges from our church community with the goal date of August 26th. We will also make requests to large donors and marketplace leaders, applying for grants from governments and foundations. The congregation at Pickering Pentecostal Church will support this project with funds and practical skills. Including a fund-raising golf tournament in the early fall. We will be engaging youth involvement with a summer Walkathon and sports events. Encouraging seniors to support with donations but also involving them in various projects, campaigns and sponsorships. We believe God will provide! CLICK HERE to help today.
WHEN
Renovation will begin in July 2024 with demolishing & removal of waste.
We will be constructing rooms, a functional kitchen, and washrooms compliant to government standards, which involves framing, drywalling, and painting. We will resurface both the work and community floors to ensure safety. Installation of new energy efficient electrical, lighting, sound/tech, HVAC system will all take place.
Using movable walls so the space can be refigured as needed. Furniture and furnishings will be in place by spring 2025, programs & staffing developed and a grand opening date will be set.
