Bodie's Methodist Church needs your help!

It's not your imagination, or your computer going wonky. The church is definitely leaning to the right.

California State Parks staff have identified two emergency stabilization projects that they are in dire need of our help funding. State Parks has no money to save these buildings, so they are leaning on us, the Bodie Foundation, to raise the necessary funds to keep the church and the Fouke Residence standing.

We are currently raising funds for PHASE 1 - hiring an architect to do measured drawings for both buildings. That will cost us $50,000.

PHASE 2: Once we know exactly what work needs to be done to save these two buildings, we will work with State Parks to create the project to put out to bid to private contractors next spring/summer. Construction on both buildings will likely start in Spring 2024. That's a quick turn-around time to raise the additional funding needed! 

We need your help to get this process moving or we are in danger of losing one of the most prominent buildings in Bodie, the Methodist Church!

THANK YOU FOR HELPING TO SAVE BODIE!

The Fouke Residence is about to lose one wall completely, which could spell ruin for this Bodie building.
