The Pump House Needs HELP!
AFTER MAJOR LOSS FROM RECENT FIRE
![]() |
Recently, Pump House Ministries in Ashland experienced a large fire in its factory. All the businesses located in the factory stopped operating. These businesses were the major revenue generators for all aspects of the Pump House ministry.
The fire destroyed all 40,000 books that supported Pump House Ministries' Amazon.com business. This alone has resulted in a loss of almost one quarter million dollars. It destroyed most of the textiles that are sold worldwide, the furniture and household items sold in Revivals 2 Thrift Store, and all of the tools and equipment used in the factory.

Pump House Ministries needs your support and donations. Forty thousand books, including textbooks, are needed to replenish the supply that was lost in the fire. Clothing and household items such as kitchenware, decorations, small and large appliances, and furniture items are needed (no mattresses, computers, organs or pianos please). All of the tools lost in the factory need restocked. And donations of packing supplies and peanuts would be appreciated!
Books and clothing can be placed in the Pump House Ministries' green bins. Books can also be brought to the Pump House Building at 400 Orange Street, Ashland or dropped off at Home Hardware or Buehler's in Ashland. Clothing, household items, tools and packing peanuts can also be dropped off at Revivals 2 Thrift Store at 345 Orange Street, Ashland.
