We are quickly approaching the season of Thanksgiving!

Each day those at Reach & Restore are reminded of how important your participation is to meeting the needs in our community and we are very thankful.

Our clients are needing winter gear. Adult XL coats and winter boots are gone or in short supply. Feel free to drop them by!

Today is “Give to the Max Day” in MN in which we see many requests for financial support of non-profit organizations in our inboxes.  Due to their high processing fee, Reach & Restore hasn’t felt comfortable officially participating.  It is a wonderful thing to see the generosity of our state.  We can celebrate all the work that is being done by amazing people around us.

Blessings to you!

Wow. We are very busy gearing people up for the weather change!

Ideally, we prefer to allow up to an hour for each clothing appointment but have had so many referrals we’ve had to overlap them so we can get more people in!  It’s always amazing to see the needs being met by your donations.

Currently, there is a big need for fall and winter clothing for girls sizes 7-8, 10-12, 14-16.  Winter boots for adults, gloves, sweatshirts, sweatpants, adult pajamas and slippers are also desired. XL coats and winter tops are in high demand now through the winter months. We are currently out of XL coats for men.

Pots, pans, basic kitchen utensils, can openers, towels and razors are also low right now.

If you are interested in volunteering, we have some specific positions to fill!  Please contact us for info.

We love our team and those who support us so many can be served! Thank you.

We received a beautiful thank you card from a referring agency this week.  Not at all expected. We are an extension of the life line they are and many other organizations are in the community. It all comes back to our supporters who allow us to give and spread the love and encouragement that so many need!

It was a joy to talk to a family today who is homeless but moving into a place next week and waiting to hear if a job is going to be offered after 2 interviews. The clothing will help with the future job and back to school for the kids.

The cost of housing is a big reason many struggle with providing other basic needs.  Each item Reach & Restore passes on to others can relieve financial pressure in another area.  If you have what you need and find it easy to replace daily conveniences, please be grateful.

Fall clothing is now being accepted. Light jackets, sweatshirts, closed toe shoes, jeans, underwear and socks are welcomed now.

We can only accept smaller, working, flat screen tvs.  Box tvs can be brought to Best Buy for recycling. (there may be a fee)

THANK YOU!
