By Mike Sisler Executive Director, RESTORE
CONCORD, CA — RESTORE (Restore Hope Dignity Life), a faith-based organization dedicated to life transformation through transitional housing and comprehensive support services, today announced the launch of its Fall fundraising season. The seasonal campaign fuels RESTORE’s ongoing doubling expansion plan, building on last year’s milestone addition of a fourth home to its network. At the conclusion of this Fall’s events, RESTORE aims to raise $150,000 to open a fifth home.
RESTORE’s holistic model integrates stable housing with personalized spiritual care and family reunification support, empowering residents to overcome hardship and achieve lasting recovery. Expanding its housing capacity allows RESTORE to double the number of men, women, and children it serves, directly meeting a vital need for compassionate, faith-based support in Contra Costa County.
“These events are transformative for the audience, the staff, and the residents, as all three groups experience the impact our safe homes and Christ-centered recovery programs have,” said Mike Sisler, Executive Director of RESTORE. “We sincerely invite all to attend.”
Event attendees will experience approximately 20 powerful mixed-media testimonials—featuring live personal stories, video presentations, and silent reading materials—that showcase the profound, real-world impact RESTORE has on individuals and families rebuilding their lives.
