The pandemic has been hard on everyone. Who knew in 2020 that this would still be creating issues in 2022?!

We want to hear from the community: What would an outdoor meeting space would mean to your group?

So please donate if you can. The goal of this campaign is $7000.

The outdoor meeting space will be for any event over the house capacity with our ongoing Pandemic Protection plan. The house capacity has not yet been finalized as we need to research ventilation options.

Items needed to purchase and issues to address:

• a 20' x 30' outdoor tent with a high rise
• WiFi extenders to improve the signal outside
• Electricity in the tent (tentative plans include having another outlet in the back parking lot so the extension cord isn't going through the Collins House bathroom window.
  
• Folding Chairs and a Chair cart
• Sound System and other equipment for outside (suggestions are appreciated)
• Hand sanitizer stations for outside and inside the space
• Increase air flow inside the house to help reduce the risk of COVID to those who are still greatly impacted.

If there are items you think would be useful, please let us know either in your donation comment or via email to [email protected] or directly to the Collins Foundation Board at [email protected] and the San José Peace and Justice Center Coordinating Council at [email protected].

Collins Foundation and San Jose Peace and Justice Center are located in San Jose, CA.
