December 2020

Wrapping up another year already! People don’t stop moving or growing so we are an essential resource. We’ve been serving the community respecting the mask guidelines since the shut down in the spring. Thank you for bringing in your donations!

There are 3 families who are desperately needing Queen beds. Each are dealing with health problems. One needs to be firm, one a pillowtop, and the last probably could go either way. Give us a call if you have one you don’t use that is in great shape! You will change a life.

Due to the early snow, many people asked for coats earlier than normal- but this year was abnormal! We need large, warm, adult coats, gloves and men’s winter hats.

Our preschool girl clothes are very thin. We need sizes 3, 4, 5 T girls clothing.

Other items that are low are basic kitchen utensils, plastic drinking glasses large and small, and underwear of all sizes.

If you would like to support REACH & RESTORE financially, you may do so through this site (secured Paypal link) or mail a check to our P.O. box in Minnetonka. We are so thankful for all kinds of support! Prayer is essential as well!

We wish you a Merry Christmas and hope you know the reason for celebrating! If you would like to receive our new newsletter, please email us with your email or address and we’ll send it to you!

After the shut down we started slowy serving our referrals once again with the addition of masks and more guidelines on appointments. It’s been gradually getting busier as referral sources started serving their clients again in person. There are still some case workers that are only allowed to use virtual connecting, at least through the end of the year, so those folks have to figure out how to get to us on their own.

Needs haven’t changed and children haven’t stopped growing. Seasons have changed and people are also in transition for many reasons. During this strange year the generosity of our donors continues and warms our hearts! In fact, we, like many donation organizations have had to figure out how to slow down some types of incoming items here and there! God has blessed us to bless others and we are all so thankful for the change it makes in many lives.

What we really need right now is underwear for all ages and all sizes. There is nothing to fill the bins which are empty. There are also specific children clothing sizes we are lacking. Please give us a call for the latest. Children’s gym shoes are also needed in all sizes.

Our mission remains to connect people with needs to people with resources and demonstrate God’s unconditional love which is FREE. Thank you for your support!
