Description

R2R Company hosts community-based, family-centered events that meet both our participants’ spiritual and tangible needs. With the help of selfless volunteers and generous donors, we are to provide the unhoused with basic needs such as food, water, clothing, hygiene products, and most importantly, a sense of belonging. Because we value the human connection and seek to revive the “village mentality,” we collaborate with community organizations and city agencies to help us with our efforts. Our current target area is Southern Nevada. “According to the Nevada Homeless Alliance, there are more than 5,000 homeless people in Southern Nevada on any given night, and more than 13,000 people will experience homelessness at some point in the year” (Royer, 2017). Our goal is to reach and serve 2,500 of those 5,000 unhoused persons and to create an additional resource for those 13,000 who may face homelessness within the year. Research suggests a decline in church attendance across the nation. Jones (2021) reports “Americans’ membership in houses of worship continued to decline last year, dropping below 50% for the first time in Gallup’s eight-decade trend”. It was also noted that “The decline in church membership is primarily a function of the increasing number of Americans who express no religious preference(Jones, 2021). Our solution: Take the Gospel to the people. The Word of God is for everyone, and because we do not ascribe to any denomination, we welcome all people from all backgrounds. Therefore, no matter how one identifies themselves, the Love of God and Salvation through Christ is available to all who believe.
