If you are a member of our community, we implore you to consider supporting our struggling neighbors. Our area is a unique blend of part-time and full-time residents in a rural area heavily supported by seasonal tourism. This rural tourism focus presents unique challenges to our neighbors living in poverty. Higher property values mixed with the lack of long-term rentals, extended public transportation, and diverse employment opportunities create a challenging environment for those striving to break through the barriers of poverty.
The White Mountain Community is only as strong as its weakest link. We cannot continue to ignore the barriers to thriving, resilient lives and those drowning around us. It’s time to throw out a lifeline. Each one of us has a duty to our community. This is why the RE:center exists; it exists to move people from survival mode to a thriving life.
​
The RE:center is a nonprofit organization that relies on grants and donations from individuals, businesses, churches, and other agencies to serve the underserved. Please consider becoming a financial partner today.
