On December 18, 2023, the Lake Superior Freethinkers donated $2190 to its 2023 community partner, One Roof Community Housing.

The funds donated to One Roof included a $1000 community partnership grant from the Freedom From Religion Foundation, and $1190 in matching funds donated by Lake Superior Freethinkers members.

One Roof is a non-profit organization committed to providing housing services, and to building and sustaining affordable homes and healthy neighborhoods. One Roof Community Housing has been featured in recent news articles, emphasizing its role in bringing more affordable housing to Duluth, especially housing to meet the needs of seniors.

The Lake Superior Freethinkers is delighted to support One Roof Community Housing, as the two organizations have a good working relationship. One Roof has provided space for the Lake Superior Freethinkers to convene its monthly “First Sunday” programs over the last year. Several LSF members have worked with One Roof staff to maintain appropriate building security, to arrange audio-visual equipment for LSF programs, and to assure that the Community Center meeting room is set up for the next users.
