✨ REC Haven is Growing — And We’re Looking for the Right People to Grow With Us ✨

As REC Haven continues expanding programs like Birthday Bundles, community events, and family support initiatives, we are officially searching for additional board members to join our mission.

Our biggest current needs are:
• Treasurer
• Secretary

We would love to have these positions filled by the end of June as we prepare for a busy second half of the year. ❤️

We are looking for people who:
• Care deeply about children and families
• Believe in strengthening our local community
• Can offer ideas, guidance, organization, or connections
• Want to be part of building something meaningful from the ground up

You do NOT have to be a nonprofit expert to apply.
You simply need a heart for the mission and a willingness to help us continue moving forward.

Board involvement is currently low-commitment and designed to work around busy schedules, with virtual meetings and flexible support opportunities.

At REC Haven, our focus is simple:
Creating refuge, encouragement, and care for local children and families before crisis happens. 🌻

If you’re interested — or know someone who may be a great fit — please message us or email us at [email protected].

You’re invited to something bigger than just an event. ❤️

On Monday, June 1st, REC Haven Inc. is opening the doors for an intimate evening called The Heart Behind the Mission — a chance to hear directly from founder Katelyn Puckett about why REC Haven exists, who it serves, and the vision being built to support children and families right here in our community.

This is not a fundraising event.
It’s a conversation.
A chance to connect.
A chance to ask questions.
A chance to see how ordinary people can help create extraordinary impact.

If you’ve been looking for a way to make a difference locally, we would love for you to join us.

⏰ 6:30PM–8:00PM

Today, we remember. 🇺🇸❤️

Memorial Day is more than a long weekend. It’s a day to honor the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our country and the families who continue to carry that loss every single day.

At REC Haven, our mission centers around children and families. Today especially, we hold space for the kids growing up without a parent, grandparent, sibling, or loved one because of that sacrifice. Their loss matters too.

As you spend time with family today, we encourage you to pause for a moment of gratitude and remembrance.

We remember the fallen.
We honor their sacrifice.
We pray for the families left behind. ❤️

I’ll be honest… launching this program has felt exciting, emotional, overwhelming, beautiful, and scary all at once.

But standing there this week during our first official Birthday Bundle delivery reminded me why we keep going.

This mission is about more than supplies.

It’s about children feeling seen.
Families feeling supported.
And reminding people they are not alone.

Thank you for walking alongside REC Haven as we continue building something that we truly hope changes lives in our community. ❤️

This month alone, REC Haven officially launched our Birthday Bundle program… and already we’re seeing the need in our community. ❤️

Every donation, shared post, and wishlist item directly helps us continue creating moments like this for local children.

Right now, some of our biggest needs are:
🎈 Birthday supplies
🎁 Small gifts for various age groups
🎂 Cake mixes/frosting
🧃 Snacks/drinks
🎉 Decorations
💙 Monetary donations to help cover urgent needs

Even something small helps more than you know.

If you’ve ever wondered whether your support truly matters… it does. ❤️

🌿 REC Haven is Growing… and We Need People Who Believe in the Mission 🌿

As REC Haven continues to grow, so are the needs behind the scenes.

We have major community events, Birthday Bundles, outreach efforts, and future programs in the works — and we can’t build this alone.

At the heart of REC Haven is a mission to help prevent crisis and minimize trauma in local youth before situations fully escalate. We believe small moments of support, encouragement, stability, and celebration can make a lasting impact on a child’s emotional well-being and future.

Right now, we are actively looking for:

💙 Board Members
People willing to help guide, advise, encourage, and help us grow sustainably as a nonprofit. This is not about perfection or having endless free time. We are looking for people with heart, ideas, community connections, and a passion for helping children and families through difficult seasons.

Board involvement is currently low-commitment and focused more on:
• Being a sounding board
• Growth ideas and community connections
• Outreach and sustainability
• Helping shape the future vision of REC Haven

💚 Volunteers
There are so many ways to help:
• Event setup & cleanup
• Birthday Bundle prep and deliveries
• Social media & marketing help
• Donation pickup/drop off
• Sponsorship outreach
• Family Fun Fair help
• Organizing supplies & storage
• Administrative help
• Simply being an extra set of hands when needed

Sometimes supporting a child looks like a birthday party.
Sometimes it looks like helping relieve stress inside a struggling household.
Sometimes it simply looks like reminding families that their community still cares.

If you’ve been looking for a way to make a real impact locally, this may be it. 🌿

Whether you can give a few hours a month or want to help shape the future of REC Haven, we would love to connect with you.
