What a year 2013 has been!!!!!
The list of places we use as agencies grew to 23 this year.
The first donation we gave was is in December 2009. The first 3 full years saw the Reserve
give aid to 112 families.  2013 we had 75 families come to the C.R.I.B. (Community Reserve Inventory Barn).  We attribute the large growth to  many things but the 2 that seem to drive growth the most is word of mouth.  Many people know of the Reserve services.  That has been vital.  The other driver seems to be a slightly relaxed real estate market, more housing available.

It is necessary to say that we are located in a very generous area.  The public has taken the Reserve to heart and has supported us beyond belief.  Thank you so much. Without the donations we could not do what we do.

Another area that needs mention is the great core of volunteers that work at the Reserve.  There is a large group of people that give willingly of time and resources to the effort.  We wish we could name them here but that is not possible.  Anyway most of them would tell us to not use the names
They do what they do not wanting publicity.

Thank everyone for all you do for us.
