The Why

My name is Mark Miller I am 55 years old. I have been led to open this outreach by my faith in Jesus Christ. For 30 years I was a slave to drugs and a lifestyle of lawlessness and destruction, both to myself and to all who came into contact with me, especially the people who loved me the most; Family. I had been a complete no show at all important and difficult events in my family’s life.

I have seen suffering from both sides of the tracks and figure we can transform communities together with God. Grass roots community based outreaches like this can change our communities and be completely self sufficient, while caring for the under-resourced, needy, and the ill; all the while creating jobs, training opportunities, and promoting volunteerism throughout our communities, by sharing the love of Christ through meeting material needs.

11 Years ago my uncle Herb Miller was asking if we wanted to open a warehouse here, and I of course was too busy with my for profit business. Then something happened; my Grandmother passed away and I decided I had left my family members alone to deal with these life events long enough and I went to West Virginia with my Dad to be with him to say goodbye to his Mother, my Grandmother. It was truly the first time I can remember being a support for my parents, “sad but true”. We will help young people avoid these types of things and by the Grace of God share the Grace that God has to offer us all.

For me her funeral was not sad at all, I was so deeply touched by her service I was changed somehow, deeply. You see she lived her life truly in service to everyone she came in contact with; exactly the opposite of my first 30 years on this planet. Her funeral was a celebration of her life and God welcomed her home right in front of our very eyes. I decided at that moment I was going to try and live the rest of my days here on earth like my Grandmother lived her life.

RVCOC is a non-profit, 501(c) (3) organization that matches the “under-resourced with the overstocked.” We typically find companies that manufacture building materials, tools, supplies and related products that have a need to dispose of slow-moving, obsolete or off-spec (usable) product that can be donated at a substantial tax credit to the donor. We at RVCOC then re-distribute these materials to families and individuals who have a need for them, and could otherwise not afford them. This is true recycling; we keep the materials out of the landfill at the same time helping the donor company "Go Green" and recycle the materials, we get the materials to people who really need them, and we do this, not for profit, but for the benefit of all people. By upgrading the homes and buildings in our communities with these new materials, we increase the property and neighborhood value and enhance the appearance; this also makes the homes more energy efficient thus conserving energy while lowering the family’s bills, making this a true win-win solution to many issues. Our future is even further vision of this "true" recycling. We want to recycle unemployed, homeless, disabled, or any other people who need or desire to get back into a rewarding and productive role, doing some discounted work for other under-resourced families to install these materials, thus creating a network of people who need a hand up, helping people who need a hand up. This can be much more than just a warehouse full of materials; it can be a central starting point for creating a "Grass Roots" network of neighbors helping neighbors, families helping families, organizations helping organizations, and people helping people.

We also hope to be able to create some types of vocational programs in the near future that involve installing these materials or building a marketable product with the materials while teaching a trade to young people in our communities.
