Hello! I just need to say that WE MISS YOU! 2020 has proven to have its' challenges, and we are definitely missing our full force of volunteers as well as the amazing fellowship in our life spot with recipients and friends. While it seems that things could indeed be different for longer than we anticipated, we have nothing but HOPE for God to continue showing us how we can be flexible enough to meet the greatest needs of our neighbors. As we approach the end of the year, we are looking forward to some of the changes taking place here at Big Reach Center of Hope (BRCOH). GOD IS IN CONTROL, and we are seeing Him move in the hearts of new and returning volunteers, recipients and donors! BRCOH is consistently evaluating our operations and determining the best ways to move forward in joy with hearts to further His Kingdom through our efforts.
Please look over the following Spring/Summer Recap (our support has been outstanding!) as well as the Upcoming Schedule & Events for ways to get involved whether at home or on site! If YOU are ready to learn more about re-connecting with BRCOH, simply visit our website at brcoh.org where you can find all the details about how to register for assistance, how to volunteer, and how to give. We're excited to have you with us again and we will be here whenever you are ready to join us! In the mean time, feel free to send us any prayer requests or personal updates to info@brcoh.org

His peace and blessings,

Calling ALL VOLUNTEERS!

VOLUNTEER HOURS UPDATE:
Pre-Covid-19: Average monthly Volunteer hours: 1856 per month
April 2020 to Now: Average monthly Volunteer hours: 567 per month.

Though our volunteer hours have decreased, God has still provided a will and a way for us to meet our weekly goals through the help of volunteers. We are so grateful for their time and dedication!

Many of our senior volunteers have been diligent in staying safe at home, and we are also thankful for each of them. After years of time and dedication invested to the
ministry of Big Reach Center of Hope,
may this time away be restful and blessed!

Whether a new or returning volunteer, when you are ready to return, please complete the application at brcoh.org/volunteer and you will receive a follow up email with details on how to get started. As our volunteer hours increase, we will have the capacity to resume clothing donations and additional programs and events!
