On Saturday, September 25, the brothers met at the Wesley Center, located at the First United Methodist Church of Clermont.  Over a hundred supporters were there to cheer for both Cops and Clergy. The teams had their sites set on the prize— prestige and a worthy cause: Find, Feed & Restore.

The Cops won the competition

Although the Cops won, the Clergy took the loss quite well, though I wouldn’t doubt another challenge.

Pastor Brian Broadway is the founder and president of Find, Feed & Restore, a non-profit housing program that assists families with children to live, develop and grow in a stable environment

Pastor Broadway realized the importance of Home. His mission, Housing First (no-cost housing for 6 to 12 months) while families obtain self-sufficiency; Homelessness Avoidance, permanent housing solutions (affordable housing for working families), (rent/mortgage/utilities assistance for struggling families); and Affordable permanent housing solutions that will provide affordable housing for working families with children.
After 6 years of providing food, career development, computer training, and job placement assistance, Pastor Broadway became aware of a missing element: the greatest weapon against homelessness is combining programs with property.  He has now taken his mission to the next level with his new project:  RESTORE LAKE.

Restore Lake will provide Bridge Housing for 3-4 months at no cost to help individuals get back on their feet. It will also provide shelter for women of domestic violence for 6 to 8 months at no cost to help survivors of domestic violence. The project will have 32 beds (can expand to 80 beds), a full kitchen, dining hall, apartment for a property manager, along with a case management facility. The project is scheduled to be completed in February 2022.

Donations are needed, as well as trailers to temporarily house the homeless. To learn more call 866-236-2983 or visit www.FindFeedRestore.com
