M1 Bank was a proud supporter of the Refuge & Restoration. This incredible organization cultivates innovation and brilliance to produce socioeconomic change agents for the future. The cycle of poverty is perpetuated by lack of resources, poor education, unemployment, and unhealthy living conditions.
R&R is dedicated to providing critical support, businesses and services to the economy. Firstly, the organization serves individuals and families in the region through workforce development, early childhood education and financial empowerment. In addition, R&R assists with entrepreneurial advancement, and boasts a multiplex facility that will host community structured opportunities.
The R&R Marketplace will be the cornerstone of the community. Above all, it is committed to growing the economy by revitalizing a fragmented community. The Marketplace will provide equitable opportunities that lead business expansion and resource growth.
In order to create modern, state of the art facilities that support the needs of the community, R&R is raising $16M to fund an integrated project budget consisting of acquisition, construction and delivery of much-needed resources such as early childhood education, health services, workforce development services, and access to capital. The result will be a self-sustaining model for community development and growth. With your support, we can complete this critical phase and begin to empower and transform this economically disadvantaged area into a thriving community.
