We are remembering the life of Cindy Gens. Cindy was a dear woman who volunteered in the very early days of Reach & Restore. She was a support to me and became a special friend and help to a few particular clients. SHe was always concerned about the wellbeing of these folks and was a tremendous example of grace.  Her presence will be missed but we know because of her faith she is in heaven with no pain! Thankful to have known you Cindy!

Today was a special day for volunteers, family and friends as we celebrated and remembered the life of Randy Ralph, who passed away in December 2018.

Randy was a volunteer for Reach & Restore who had a gentle, sweet and giving heart.  He often steamed our clothing donations, recycled our metal waste and used his welding skills to design and fabricate clothing racks and a mattress cart for us to use. Randy was a simple, humble man and we enjoyed having his company and are thankful to have known him.  We are comforted to know he is in heaven!

We’ve had many beautiful moments lately as we followed up with our referrals.

“You called at the right time.” ” I needed that today.” “Thank you for calling me.”

It is out of the ordinary these days for random calls to be about caring instead of taking.  What a joy to know it can make such an impact!
