ABOUT COMMUNITY

The Place of Restoration Resource Center: How We Started

Founded on the Christian principle of Matthew 25:35 — “For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave me something to drink; I was a stranger, and you invited me in.”

The Place of Restoration Resource Center (PORRC) was established to address hunger and provide essential support within our community. We serve as a vital link between food resources and community-based partner agencies, ensuring that nutritious food reaches families and individuals in need.

Beyond addressing hunger, our outreach extends to connecting the community with health and financial literacy resources, empowering individuals toward lasting stability and well-being. 

Integrity

We are committed to serving our community ethically and truthfully. We help all individuals—regardless of race, color, citizenship, religion, gender, national origin, ancestry, age, marital status, disability, sexual orientation, or gender identity or expression. 

Dignity

We believe every person has inherent worth and value. We are dedicated to serving and respecting everyone, regardless of their status in life.

Partnership

We collaborate with grocery stores, food distributors, and partner agencies to recover fresh meats, fruits, vegetables, and other food items—both perishable and nonperishable—to provide nutritious food for individuals and families in need. 

Donor Appreciation

We deeply value our donors’ generosity. Their support strengthens our mission, empowers our goals, and helps build a more engaged and united community.
