Our New Building Will:

Strengthen the presence of TAUM in the community as it is a larger, more practical space in South Troy;
Give us much-needed room for the Furniture Program, the Damien Center of Troy, Computers for Kids, the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Program, and a gathering space for congregations;
Afford us room to grow into new ways to serve;
With renovations, offer accessibility for all people;
Continue TAUM's commitment to social justice and social change;
Enhance our outreach through increased visibility;
Help us empower more at-risk people as they move to greater self-sufficiency.

Goal
Our goal is to raise $300,000 over a three-year period, to purchase and modify the building for ministry, social programs and access. The Board of Troy Area United Ministries has pledged $50,050 as of April 15, 2004.

Who Benefits from the TAUM programs?

I received furniture from the Furniture Program several years ago. Now I am able to replace it, and I would like to donate back to the program so that another family in need can benefit.

I would like to thank you and the Martin Luther King Scholarship Committee for selecting me…your scholarship will help to take some of the financial burden off the shoulders of my parents and myself. I believe that you guys run a wonderful program and I hope that you will be able to continue giving scholarships to deserving students in the future.
