Thank You to the Redlands Community - New House Donations
Redlands people always pull together to help. Steps 4 Life recently opened a new house for local people who are struggling with homelessness and other challenges. We needed basic items to fill the house like a refrigerator, washer, dryer, couch, furniture, dishes, towels and blankets. Our local community came together to donate these items. We are so grateful. Now our clients have a roof over their head and can focus on working towards self-sufficiency in the Steps 4 Life Program.
A special thanks to Redlands Family Services, Ken, Claudia, Kyra and Jennifer, the Redlands United Church of Christ and Pastor Greg of the Yucaipa Church for making this possible.
