After seeing the devastation and chaos that resulted from Hurricane Katrina in 2005, an individual rallied volunteers within a local church to step up and assist victims who had moved to Minnesota hoping to start life over, and Reach & Restore was formed. Reach & Restore helped some relocated Katrina families get back on their feet in the Twin Cities. That volunteers that began serving in 2005 has since then been joined by dozens of volunteers, donors and financial supporters in meeting many of the needs of families that are in crisis or transition who are “west of the river” in the Twin Cities.

Reach & Restore, Inc. is a faith based 501(c)(3) organization. It began when a small part of the larger body of Christ followers responded to Christ’s command, to go and serve those in need (Matthew 6). Serving others through Reach & Restore is done in a variety of tangible ways but the heart of Reach & Restore’s mission is to demonstrate God’s love to people who are struggling by becoming His Hands and Feet and make a difference in the community.
