A heartfelt THANK YOU to all of our supporters who wrapped up the year with financial encouragement!  Asking for financial support isn’t my favorite thing to do but necessary to move ahead and continue this outreach. Every contribution of time, prayer, or material is also key to Reach & Restore!  It is such an amazing thing to see God provide big and small needs over and over again.

There are local churches who have come together in creative ways to meet physical needs. It is a joy to be connected to a community full of caring people!

Many are asking how it’s going and to be honest, this month has been a heavy one.  There have been 5 of our volunteers and a few clients who have had a loved one pass away within the last week or so! We are thankful to have Grief Support available on Thursdays each week at no cost.  If you or someone you know needs support through a loss of any kind, please come.  It is a small, confidential, caring atmosphere for healing.

GRIEF and LOSS SUPPORT   Thursdays at 2pm  at Reach & Restore     FREE

December 3, 2017…In Memory Of

Today we celebrated the life of a dear volunteer, Nancy Perry (92 yrs old), who recently passed away peacefully at home in her favorite chair.  What a joy she was to us while we served together.  Nancy helped us sort donations with a smile on her face and loved to know she was making a difference in the community. After having surgery five or so years ago, it was too difficult for her to help but we always felt her support when greeting each other at church. “How is Reach & Restore going?” she asked every time.  To those of you who have donated in her memory, THANK YOU.  We are honored and know Nancy is beaming from above!

Winter air has swept through our state earlier this year!  We sped through the light jacket days and are already seeing a high demand for warm outerwear in all sizes.  A few XXL and XXXL Adult Coats are very important for us to have on hand.

If you would like to help by donating any used, clean, warm winter coats, long johns, boots, snow pants, scarves, gloves or hats please give us a call!

Other items needed are boys clothing, plus size clothing, beds, small couches, small kitchen tables, blankets, can openers, coffee makers, and toasters.

It’s always fun to see our supporters during the week!  We are thankful for you all!
