Tracy Press

A tour of Tracy Interfaith Ministries will show how far the new building has come — and will showcase what still needs to be done.

Volunteers will serve refreshments and walk people through the 10,000-square-foot building in a tour from 2 to 4 p.m. Saturday at the corner of Grant Line Road and Parker Avenue.

Tracy Interfaith, made up of 21 churches, has operated out of a 3,500-square-foot warehouse with no heat or air conditioning for the past decade. Interfaith’s new spacious site has two waiting rooms, a children’s play room, full kitchen, ample storage space and a parking lot.

The ministry’s new move-in date is set for July 4 — but that depends, of course, on if volunteers can raise the $125,000 needed to finish the $1.5 million building.

With the daily temperatures on the rise, director Darlene Quinn said the group’s 75 volunteers are eager to get into the new location.

The nonprofit still needs lighting fixtures, toilets, a water heater, carpet and an iron fence. An anonymous donor tiled the building’s floors and bathroom walls and designed mosaics in the children’s play rooms.

"It’s a really, really wonderful donation," Quinn said. "We’re hoping to get people down there to show people what’s been done and what still needs to be done."

Can't make the tour but where can we send a check or make a donation with a credit card?

I'm sure you can walk right into the warehouse on Holly Dr. and someone would be glad to give it to Darlene or better yet, hand it to her in person, if I were you.
