Our hearts break for the victims of a recent apartment building fire in St Louis Park. We have been getting many calls about donating items for the affected families. Most families are not yet in their next residence but we can assist others who are starting over from different circumstances.

This morning, a gentleman was blessed with a bed, table, chair and basic household items at no charge. He works but his apartment was empty. Tonight he is thrilled, off the floor and under a blanket! All because of donors and volunteers who care.

Thank you for caring so much that we occasionally get behind on processing donations! Your patience is appreciated.

The buds on the trees and bright grass remind us of new life! This is refreshing to see, and for our clients, this is how they feel when departing from Reach & Restore.

We have met and helped a handful of folks who are homeless in the area this past week. By sharing words of truth, encouragement, connections and basic necessities from your donations, we have seen the difference it makes every time. Starting over is hard work!

A client was just finishing her clothing appointment and said that Friday was her 65th birthday. Knowing she was alone, she sure felt loved when receiving a birthday cake that was donated, ready for sharing! Her face lit up and she felt valued. Everyone needs to be celebrated right where they are at.

On my way here today I heard a wonderful reminder. Are we living for the blessings or for the BLESSER who gives us life at no cost to us? All good things come from above (James 1:17) and serving is a way to be thankful! God is SO good. We appreciate your prayers!

We are open 9-3, M-F. Our clients are referred to us from local agencies, schools, etc. and we are all volunteers.

THANK YOU for your support! 952-933-1393
