Help us buy Cedar Shingles to save this refuge

THANK YOU, thank you, thank you! Your generous support has now exceeded our cost estimate for the shingles. As of March 2022, we still need about $35,000 to pay for the total project cost.
We are excited to report that we have secured a contractor to do the roof replacement in June / July 2022!!!

THANK YOU for your continued support.

We remain grateful for continuing donations which will ensure completion of this project, and continued maintenance of this historic building.

You can donate either by check (to St. George’s Church “for Roofs” and mailed to

St. George’s Church, P.O. Box 849, Cordova, AK 99574); or, online here using Paypal.

Bundles of cedar shingles

This bundle of shingles has your name on it!

We need 120 bundles to replace St. George’s roof.

Your donation of $200 or more, either individually or with other friends as a group, will be acknowledged on a plaque inside the church. You will also receive a 1923 publication, Copper Tints, A Book of Cordova Sketches. This charming booklet has a series of short vignettes written by Katherine Wilson, an early reporter for the Cordova Times, and illustrations are by Rev. Eustace Ziegler, who was in charge of the Episcopal Mission in Cordova from 1909-1924.

ALL donations, of any amount, are welcomed!

$10, $25, $50, whatever amount you can afford.

We will be very grateful for your support.
