McPHERSON, Kan. — Thanks to shoppers and volunteers throughout the month of May, the ReUse It Center was able to donate $4,750 to the following organizations.
The Omega Project
The Omega Project is a multi-faceted, faith-based recovery program that emphasizes heart level changes of men and women. We offer lifestyle change to those whose probable future would have been jail or homelessness. We provide a place to live, teaching and training in lifestyle transformation, work opportunities, and contact with those who have overcome the addictive lifestyle.
