Mission Needs 2011

The Navajo Lutheran Mission is supported not only by our donors' generous financial gifts, but also by donations of time, materials, and supplies.
We can always use quilts, we often need medical supplies and school supplies, (but please NO BOOKS!).

Since the needs of the community change so frequently, we ask that you please contact the Executive Director, Reverend Lynn Hubbard, before making a donation. He will be aware of the current needs of the Mission and be able to direct your gift in an efficient and effective manner.

New Maintenance Shed - 
Estimated Cost = 103,500$

The present maintenance shed was the first building to be constructed on Mission grounds. Over the years it has been modified, and areas added to it, but to date, it does not have water, heat or air conditioning.

1. Large pre-fabricated metal structure - $65,000
2. Cement slab - $15,000
3. Electric hookup/AC and heat - $15,000
4. Plumbing - $3,000
5. Partition wood, drywall (in certain rooms) and paint - $3,000
6. Windows/doors - $2,500

New School Buses -
Estimated Cost = $150,000

Two new, small school buses - $50,000 each

The Mission provides transportation for students, and drives daily on hard, bumpy, and muddy roads. Last summer, we purchased 4 small used buses as we were required by law to replace the 16-passenger vans by October.

Although the buses are now being used, they are very old and often in need of repairs. To date we have spent thousands of dollars on repairs for these buses. In order to maintain a consistent schedule (when a bus breaks down it takes longer to transport the students, thus making them late for classes) and a safe environment for the children, the Mission must have new and reliable buses to transport the children!
