Mission Statement

Bringing unity in the community one person, one heart at a time.

Description

The difference between most "Outreach Centers" and our Reach Out Center" is that we go to people where they are to meet their needs, instead of making them come to us.

We feed as many as 150 children and youth once a week as funds allow. We have children waiting an hour in the rain for us to open just so they can get their hot dogs, pop and chips when we can afford them. I personaly grill hot dogs outside all winter long. It doesn't matter how cold or how deep the snow, We are there, because the kids are hungry.

We take underprivileged and inner city kids Camping, Bowling, Miniature Golfing, Swimming and more. We play Frisbee and kickball with them. We teach them team work, morals, value and respect.

Older youth and adults learn basic life skills like Handy man repairs, Carpentry, Cooking, Sewing, Computer skills, Basic car maintenance and more.

When we have sufficient volunteers, we will schedule tutoring sessions. There are teenagers asking for this help.

We Reach Out to the Homeless, Prostitutes, Drug addicts, Alcoholics and those without addictions but may still need direction. Food and Blankets are free when again, we have the funds to purchase them.

There is so much more to share. If you would like to know more PLEASE contact me at ReachOutCenter@aol.com

Blessings

Pastor Rick

Pastor Rick is an amazing human being with a heart of Gold. He inspires me to reach out to those who are in need and embrace them with all my heart. He is a different kind of man because he goes out and loves people who need it the most; people who so many others have thrown away. He definately goes out of what most of us call our "comfort zone" just to love and help so many hurting people. If we had more men like him, this world would be a much better place for us all. I can't even put it into words;the way I feel about his ministry. Rena

I know Pastor Rick.He is a man of conviction and integrity.He has a love for those that are hurting and in need.This Ministry takes what these people need to THEM.I see this Ministry being able to change these people.It meets their physical and Spiritual needs, but it also teaches them a trade,morals,values,respect.It gives hope to the hopeless.Pastor Rick and this Ministry love the people,others would throw away..With finances and volunteers, I can see this Ministry totally transforming lives..I have met many Pastor's and people that have outreach programs.I have NEVER met one as loving,committed and dedicated as Pastor Rick.He will always go that extra mile to help those in need.
