Solar Barn Raising at Gift and Thrift

Gift & Thrift Solar Barn Raising

Gift & Thrift is in the process of adding 300 solar panels to the top of Gift & Thrift and neighboring buildings -- and the video above shows the process of installing the first 160 solar panels, which took place a few weeks ago. 

Gift & Thrift is now looking for further community support to raise the funds to purchase the remaining solar panels.  Once completed, this will be the largest solar array in Harrisonburg AND the 107 kilowatt system will provide 46% of Gift & Thrift's electrical needs, thus allowing them to donate $14,000 more each year to the international relief and development work of MCC.

So, action items....
  1. Check out the fun video of 160 solar panels being installed.

  3. Join me in making a gift via GoFundMe to help buy solar panels!
