Kitchen Project Request for Proposal

Decatur Cooperative Ministry’s mission is to help families facing homelessness settle into safe, stable homes and build healthy lives filled with peace, hope, and opportunity.

The kitchen at Hagar’s House sorely needs to be upgraded.  The schedule below reflects the procurement process for this project which is in part federally funded by the Community Development Block Grant:
