Reach & Restore, Inc. announces it’s first cookbook which is HOT off the press!

All proceeds will directly support the work of R&R. This book contains 250 wonderful recipes that have been collected from R&R family and friends and kitchen tips that are very handy. It has a spiral binding and laminated cover for better wear and will make a fabulous gift for many!

Treat yourself and purchase one today. Single copies are $14 each and Multiple copies are $12 each. Cookbooks can be purchased through the office of Ridgewood Church, Minnetonka (952-474-0858) or by calling 952-933-1393.

Our last offer on clothing closet space was not accepted as is. Please continue to pray for a miracle as we know that there is a need and a solution waiting for us out there.

Multiple families are being assisted this month with basic needs. If you are interested in joining the R&R crew we would love to speak to you! God is using us to share His message during difficult situations.

“We just got here two days ago after driving for two weeks. Our car broke down along the way and we had to spend all of our money on motel rooms and food.The job market is better here and I hope to find work after being unemployed for months down south.” This family was assisted with basic needs and will receive help getting connected in the area. Next month an article will be published in the Christian Chronicle about this ministry!

We are grateful and excited to read it.
