We are so blessed to be back in our building after more than two years of renovations. Thank you for helping make this possible!
Reconciliation is our guiding framework and our ultimate vision and mission.
To address the root causes and symptoms of poverty and trauma in our City, Reconciliation Services engages with individuals to:
1) Promote dignity by increasing personal well-being
2) Foster healthy community by transforming dividing lines into gathering places
3) Help people advocate for themselves, their families, and their neighbors.
Our Programs
Thelma’s Kitchen
Thelma’s Kitchen is a pay-it-forward community café run by Reconciliation Services. At Thelma’s Kitchen, everyone is invited to enjoy nutritious food, cultivate a thriving community, and transform dividing lines into gathering places. Order lunch for $15. Can’t pay the total price? That’s okay. You can use a meal that another generous neighbor has paid forward. We simply ask that you give what you can to PAY IT FORWARD for the next neighbor that needs it.
REVEAL Social & Mental Health Services
The REVEAL (Restore-Engage-Value-Encourage-Act-Lead) Program offers a comprehensive approach to individual and community healing through essential social services, case management, and therapeutic services.
Foster Grandparents Program
Through the Foster Grandparents Program we recruit, train, and mobilize senior adults with low incomes to volunteer to mentor, tutor, and offer encouragement and emotional support for area youth with exceptional needs.
The Social Leader Program
The Social Leader Program provides transformational and experiential leadership training around issues affecting your employees on the issues surrounding—trauma, equity, diversity, and inclusion.
