DONATE
​GENERAL FUND
General Fund gifts help support the mission of Mt. Gilead. Operation expenses include the daily costs of running the camp: food, utilities, staff salaries, insurance, maintenance and vehicles.
STAFF HOUSING
Having quality staff housing is one of the best ways for Mt. Gilead to combat labor shortages. When we offer housing to new staff, it often makes it possible for them to serve here. A number of staff houses are in need or repair.
CAMPERSHIPS
Sharing the transforming hope of Jesus Christ through a camp experience is the heartbeat of Mt. Gilead. Financial assistance through our Campership Fund is a necessity for some of our campers.
SUMMER STAFF
DONATIONS
Summer staff who raise support to supplement their salary will have their support matched up to $25 EACH WEEK they serve.
STAFF DONATIONS
Mt. Gilead staff members serve with a passion for ministry. Staff members often receive less income than they could earn elsewhere. Your gift designated to a staff member supports their ministry at Mt. Gilead.
CAPITAL PROJECTS
With 238 acres of land there are endless ways we can enhance the ministry of Mt. Gilead. The Capitol Projects Fund provides resources for large and costly projects like cabin renovation of 31 cabins.
WAYS TO HELP
There are many ways to be involved in what God is doing here at Mt. Gilead, including: volunteering your time, providing expertise in a specific area (landscaping, interior design, and photography, carpentry, mechanics, just to name a few) or helping us with financial assistance.

Solar Project Underway….
Energy costs have soared for everyone and Mt. Gilead is no exception. As we serve upwards of 250 people each week, you can only imagine what our energy bills are at the end of the month. To remedy the situation we investigated installing solar panels and discovered that there is newly funded grants and rebates for non-profits. The solar microgrid will provide energy for the central camp and water system and will provide us with PG&E credits to eliminate our electricity bill.
Cabin Area Renovation
Remodel Update
Currently, we are insulating the ceilings and beginning the interior update...one cabin at a time. All of the new bunks have arrived and eight cabins are completed and four more underway!
Rain Water Catchment Project
We were blessed to receive grants through the Gold Ridge Resource Conservation District for installing a rain water catchment system that will ensure green fields even during the hottest weeks of camp, minimize our reliance on well water and protect our creek. In addition, we have just completed the GILEAD PAVILLION to provide shade in the summer and rain protection in the winter over the basketball court and chalkball wall.
