We are so happy you have chosen to visit us!

There are plenty of extra things to do and think about in this season. I usually end up writing down my list so everything is checked off with satisfaction by a certain day. There are people all around us though that have a different kind of list. A list of things that many take for granted and don’t have to think about. These lists are not written down, but an instinct to provide the next meal, next winter coat, next place to live or what to sleep or eat on. A challenging list, often repeating for survival.

REACH & RESTORE lightens the load for many individuals and families who have day to day struggles with basic need lists. Today, we were able to bless a group from a place that shelters homeless people, many dealing with mental and chemical health challenges. Your donations provided some basic needs and demonstrated the whole reason for this season! A FREE, unconditional gift.

Christmas is year-round at REACH & RESTORE! It’s a joy to serve and be a light in our community. Even though we don’t see the lists of the heart, REACH & RESTORE is a place where there is hope, peace, love and acceptance. We all need those!!

If you have a heart that is driven by these things, we may have a volunteer match. Send us an email through our contact page!

Blessings in your season,

Ronda Oliver

Ever have a day when your spirit is needing encouragement and someone provides it when least expected? It happened to me this week again and I’m so grateful for those people who showed up and answered my prayers. Being at Reach & Restore every day, I see people that need encouragement and acknowledgement. It seems by the time they head out the door, there has been a refreshment, a lifting.

Thank you for encouraging us as we press on. Your support and prayers are uplifting.

Feeling like the heavy coat season might be ending!

For those of you waiting for a change or update since our newsletter, we are waiting with you. Each day we continue to connect with our community meeting needs with your donations and our time.

Last week.I received a call from a past client asking for future support as her mother literally passed away minutes before her call. She was still in the hospital holding her moms hand while we processed the news together. That was a beautiful moment of reconnection. And reminder of our purpose here.

Please stay connected. Thank you for your support! We know God’s got this.
