We have all heard the proverb “It takes a village to raise a child”. Here at Restoration Development Corporation R.D.C. believe this to be very true. In our first and Annual Back to School Extravaganza “Son Fest 2011-2012” we found that our communities children’s needs exceeded far pass what we were able to give. Due to the limited number of backpacks on hand, we were devastated by the hundreds of children we had to turn away. On August 10, 2013 is the vision of R.D.C to be able to hand out 1000 backpacks, for children k-12 w/ school supplies to some needy families who otherwise couldn't obtain them.

On August 10, 2013 The R.D.C in collaboration with multiple churches in the community, and organizations will host the 3rd Annual all day Fellowship back to School Extravaganza. This event will not only be utilized as a tool to enhance the minds of our local youth and their families, but also a tool used to unify our churches and our community. The event will be set to educate families on services that our community churches provide along with resources within the community.

2011 our goal was to help 300 kids with backpacks and school supplies. With the help of Noon-Day Kiwanis Club and multiple other community donations we reached and exceeded that goal by 45. Grateful that we could help, but heart broken about the 200 kids we had to turn away.

2012 we upped our goal to 500 kids and with the help of our previous partners and new ones we met and exceeded that goal. Though our goal was exceeded by 165, we still had to turn away hundreds of kids.

2013 We have set a goal to help 1000 under privileged kids with backpacks and school supplies. Help us enhance 1000 of our communities children's learning experience by giving them the instruments needed to learn.

They say a picture is worth a thousand words, these speak volumes.
