New REAP Building is Debt-Free
Al Brown reported in the July News Letter that the REAP BUILDING IS ENTIRELY DEBT-FREE. It was the generosity of you, the people of the Raytown area, who helped us reach this goal. THANK YOU!

We can now concentrate exclusively on providing the best services possible to those in need in our community. First, we must see that they have food on the table, and a roof over thir heads. Also, many families will need help with overdue utility bills. Then, with your help, we hope to provide educational classes that will enable these hurting families to improve their skills, and learn to become self-sustaining members of the community.
