Today is another first for The Community Reserve. We collected donations from 6 location in one day.
In total these donations netted 2 love seats, one rocker/swivel chair, 2 bunk beds, (one came with 2 new mattresses), a microwave, 2 couches, a bag of twin size bed sheets and a bag of personnel size soap, shampoo, conditioner, toothpaste and deodorant.
All these items will be greatly appreciated in the near future. Thanks to all who gave.
Also thanks to a great group on volunteers. Myles Hooton, Ron Zigert, Larry Merkner and Mike Lyczynsky. Tireless people that make this ministry go.
Now, the rest of the story. Today at 6PM a young couple from La Porte will pick up a truck load of needed supplies.

Two in one day
We barely had time to write up the fire case when another case came in. This couple found themselves unexpectedly unemployed. They are in a new town, needing help. They also received a rather large donation.
With all this activity we are a little low of merchandise. We need donations.
But more than that it sure would be nice to have a building

Another family helped !!!!

Another young family experienced a fire and needed help. Once again our agency, The Door Church,
gave us the contact.
This couple came to the Reserve and left with a pickup truck of furniture.
Microwave and stand, rocker with foot stool, highchair, 9 drawer dresser, couch/day bed and 2 lamps.
They also left with smiles and a new belief that hard work and faith pay off.

Latest news
Today we gave furniture to the 14th family so far this year. This family received a couch, end table, kitchen table and 4 chairs, 2 lamps, towels, bathroom rugs and accessories, some pots and pans and 3 wall mirrors.
Another donation arrives tomorrow AM. It will have a microwave and stand, and a rocker. This donation is being given by a new agency and caseworker.
We continue to look for a building to house this adventure. It will be so much more convenient to operate when that building is found.
Thanks to all of you who continue to support THE COMMUNITY RESERVE

Yard sale
The Reserve just had a great yard sale. We generated enough revenue to stay open for at least the next year. See a picture on facebook.
We started with a large truck full of donated items, we generated over $2300, and when we cleaned up in order to leave, we filled that same truck again. WOW

Fire Victims Helped
6/11/2011
Today The Community Reserve gave the largest donation to date. Last spring the Reserve responded with a large gift to the Woodlands Crossing apartments when they had 12 families suffer fire losses. Today was the largest donation to a single family since we have been in business.
This family received a 14 foot, U-Haul, box truck full to bursting with furniture. We sometime list the items but there are special events with this donation and listing everything would be too much.
First we went to a location where items were being held on a donor's back porch. The Reserve had not found the time to collect them. The donation was made directly to the fire victims. Pretty cool.
The last place was the same thing. A refrigerator was pledged to the Reserve and we were able to give the donation directly to the family. It seems that what is needed is soon given
