They look close, 235k out of a goal of 250. I have some more though. I wish I could go more often Takoma is kind of a haul from my end of the DMV.

I *gave* more.

Nice.

An update by Rhizome:

N UPDATE!

As of this morning, we have the funds necessary to proceed with the purchase of 7733 Alaska Ave NW as a permanent home for Rhizome. The outpouring of support has been so inspiring! We have raised over $250,000 in donations and loans from community members in one month. If you haven't contributed, and you'd still like to and have the means, don't worry, you are not too late to help! We still need $150k more over the next 4-5 months, in combined donations, loans, and grants, to pay for new HVAC, roof, accessible bathrooms, and other needed renovations. You can find out more and make a contribution HERE. What an amazing community!!!!

Great news!
