Thanks to your incredible generosity, our Seed to Feed Campaign raised over $1 million to support equitable housing in New Hamburg. This is more than a number — it’s the foundation of a future where everyone has a place to call home.
With these funds, we secured over half the purchase price for the historic Mill and Warehouse properties, breathing life into our vision for the Mill Block. The rest has been invested in critical pre-construction steps.
This milestone was made possible by you — our passionate, dedicated, and diverse community. From local businesses that gave over $300,000, to churches that shared holiday offerings, to individuals who gave what they could, time and again — your commitment fuels this movement.
The seeds are planted. The ground is ready. Let’s keep growing — together.
We’re proud to launch our most ambitious effort yet: a $5 million fundraising campaign — The Story of a Mill: From the Founding of a Community to Hope for the Future.
We are closer than ever to breaking ground. Our application to CMHC is in its final review. Site plan approval is secured. Environmental and engineering assessments are complete. Final drawings are in hand, and a dedicated construction team is ready. All we need now — is you.
Like the Mill Block we’re building, you are a mosaic of hope. You’ve helped us overcome major hurdles, and now, with hearts full of gratitude and determination, we look ahead — ready to grow this dream into a home for many.
This campaign isn’t just about raising money. It’s a celebration of our shared history and a collective vision for the future. This summer, join us on a journey through the Mill’s remarkable past — a story of how it shaped New Hamburg and the lives within it. With the help of local historians, we’ll bring these untold stories to life through newsletters, social media, and community events.
Together, let’s build something extraordinary — not just affordable housing, but a legacy of hope, belonging, and opportunity.
Join us on Sept. 7th to celebrate community and raise funds. We’ll be hosting a live music event called Porch Music in the Burg in downtown New Hamburg. Admission is free but donations are encouraged. Read more on our events page.
