Restore St. Charles

A faith based program that focuses on serving through restoring the community around us. "Restoring Lives Through Restoring Homes" Restore St. Charles.

Charles is meeting real needs of individuals who have homes and properties that need repair. Some of these projects are small and completed in a weekend, while others are much larger and require our ongoing commitment. In every case, a person is recommended to us or contacts us directly. We meet with that person to understand the situation and immediately work to assure them that we are there to h

elp and never judge. We then assemble a project leader who creates an action plan. The most important part of this early effort is to rally three important resources: volunteers, sponsors, and materials. The volunteers are the lifeblood of Restore St. They show up regularly and give their all to one of our work days; most show up over and over again and even contribute a few dollars toward the project. Our sponsors are companies who provide us the necessary materials, through contributions and discounts, to get the project done.
