Family Number 17

Today a young mother, going through a divorce, was identified and a quick phone call gave her a desk that she had been looking for.
Also we picked up a love seat, stuffed chair, sofa sleeper and couch.
Thanks to your generous donations the storage units are nearly full.
Donations are coming in from a larger and larger area.  From the south side of La Porte to the Pine Lake area, to Applewood developement to Hudson lake, the networking gets better and better.

We feel blessed to be doing this work.  Thanks to all who are with us.

8/9/2011

The Community Reserve received 2 very nice donations today, The Old Republic in New Carlisle helped with the contact for one of them.  Thank you, Old Republic, for remembering us..
Both of our units are full.  Sofas, love seats, chairs, microwaves, a few dishes, personal size toiletries, beds and bedding and coffee tables.   Your donations are very much appreciated and will be so welcomed by our clients.  It is great to live in such a giving community.

We have a great crew of volunteers and once again the group responded when this last 2 gifts were given.

Facebook

To those of our friends that were following us on Facebook, I must apologize.  Somehow the Facebook page became damaged.   To get to The Community Reserve one had to go to an account with my name on it. I did not want this to be in my name but it became linked in such a way that it is not usable.

If anyone knows how to get The Community Reserve's account back let me know how to do it.

Thank you for your help

Donation Day

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 !!!!

7/15/2011
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
