"Share with the Lord's people who are in need. Practice hospitality." -Romans 12:13

Project (Re)Start is an initiative by the Episcopal Diocese of Northern California to develop standardized bins containing essential household and personal goods to help victims after the initial days of a disaster. These bins are distributed free of charge to anybody who has been displaced, is establishing a household in a rebuilt residence, or has experienced forced relocation. This provides interested congregations a way to provide tangible support to victims. Project (Re)Start inspires congregations to join forces in the ministry, prepares for disaster response, responds to disasters in meaningful ways with clearly identified needs, establishes a ready reserve of supplies, and helps those in need. 

St. John's Episcopal Church in Chico, California is collecting bins, and there is a specific need for kitchen bins. To contribute, all you need is to fill a storage bin with the following items, and drop the bin off at St. John's, 2341 Floral Avenue
