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.
Note: Their website says they focus on western suburbs, but the woman on the phone says they help with all people near the Twin Cities. Their delivery can take time, so those who are able to pick up furniture will be able to receive items quicker. No specific religious beliefs required.
Through the effective reuse of donated items, Bridging improves lives by providing quality furniture and household goods to those transitioning out of homelessness and poverty.
