Describes programs. Its tax return describes what it does but we have found no measurable results in it.

Programs described in its return (1)

$611,211 spent. Reach and Restore (R&R) provides needy families with resources to provide a sense of hope and be a support to get back on their feet. This may include physical needs such as household items, furniture, locating housing or transportation and personal needs such as moral support, friendship, tutoring, counseling, or spiritual guidance. For example, an elderly woman came to her clothing appointment, had tripped and fell in her home and woke up from being unconscious on her floor the night before. She needs assisted living but can not find a low income unit. Another called us because she was lonely, thanking us for helping her in the past. A family who lost all in a house fire received some replacement items and clothing for her kids.
