As the New Year begins, countless families are still grappling with challenges that most of us take for granted—access to food, clothing, and a safe place to call home. Thankfully, organizations like Revive and Restore, a faith-based non-profit dedicated to transforming lives, are stepping up to make a difference.

In 2024, Revive and Restore accomplished remarkable feats, providing vital resources to hundreds of families in need. Now, as we enter 2025, the organization is amplifying its efforts by introducing a new Monthly Donor Program. This initiative aims to ensure ongoing support for families struggling to make ends meet.

A Year of Impact: How Revive and Restore Helped in 2024

Last year, Revive and Restore made significant strides in helping local families facing hardship. The organization’s efforts included:

• Delivering warm meals and essential supplies to families in need.
• Sponsoring families during the holidays, providing gifts and festive meals to those who otherwise couldn’t afford them.
• Hosting community outreach programs that combined practical support with spiritual guidance.
• Offering shelter and hope to individuals experiencing homelessness or financial instability.

“2024 was a testament to what’s possible when a community comes together,” said a spokesperson for Revive and Restore. “But the need is still great, and we’re committed to doing even more in 2025.”

Introducing the Monthly Donor Program for 2025

The newly launched Monthly Donor Program allows supporters to contribute as little as $10 a month, making it easier than ever for anyone to make a lasting impact.

This program is designed to provide consistent funding, which is critical for meeting the ongoing needs of the community. Monthly donors help ensure that Revive and Restore can continue offering meals, clothing, shelter, and support to families in need.

How Monthly Donations Make a Difference

Donations through the program are used to:

• Provide meals to hungry families.
• Supply clothing and hygiene essentials.
• Support family sponsorships, giving struggling households a chance to rebuild their lives.

“Your $10 a month can feed a family in need,” says Lori Martin, founder of Revive and Restore. “It’s a small contribution with a massive impact.”

The Need for Community Support in 2025

Revive and Restore’s mission aligns with the growing call to give back to the community and support families in need. By becoming a monthly donor, individuals can join a movement of compassion and help bring stability and hope to those who need it most.

“This isn’t just about donations—it’s about being part of something bigger,” the spokesperson added. “Together, we can make 2025 a year of restoration and hope.”

Looking Back: A New Year’s Eve Celebration of Hope

The organization rang in 2025 with a heartfelt New Year’s Eve event at 6608 North Central Avenue. Guests enjoyed a warm meal, live music, a movie, and popcorn, embodying the sense of community and joy that Revive and Restore aims to spread throughout the year.
