About Regeneration Outreach Community
Regeneration is a community of caring persons who, as an expression of Christian love in action, are continually striving to provide dignity to the lives of all those in need.
We help with restoring, rebuilding and renewing peoples' lives. We are about living out the words of Jesus from Matthew 25. "For I was hungry, and you fed me. I was thirsty, and you gave me a drink. I was a stranger, and you invited me into your home. I was naked, and you gave me clothing. I was sick, and you cared for me. I was in prison, and you visited me."
Our community includes the homeless, the near homeless, the disenfranchised and a growing number of pensioners. Your participation in the Coldest Night of the Year WALK will help us to expand our outreach to the hungry and hurting.
