The Reserve's story

The Community Reserve is a ministry of the New Carlisle Wesleyan Church.

WHAT WE ARE:  The Reserve is a non-profit, all volunteer furniture bank, helping people establish a more comfortable home environment. The Reserve works in partnership with area churches, social workers, county trustees, homeless shelters, and social agencies.  We give donated items to people in need.

HOW WE OPERATE: We solicit good, serviceable, used furniture,household items and gently used clothing.  The items are stored in our storage building and we distribute them (FREE OF CHARGE) to clients who are referred to us by participating referral agencies.

PEOPLE WE SERVE:  Victims of devastating fires, natural disasters (storms and floods), domestic violence, divorce separation and other persons determined to be in severe need.

WHAT WE NEED: Donations that we can store for later use.
                               Volunteers for pick up, clean up and repair
                               Cash donations to pay current rental expenses

WE ARE LOOKING FOR A BUILDING TO USE AS THE STORAGE SPOT.  The rental units we are using are small and difficult to use.

We have been in operation for 11 months. We are a 501 (c) 3 non-profit, your donations to us are tax deductable.  To date we have given clothing and or furniture to 99 families which represent 352 individuals.
