Client Testimonials

"I always felt accepted and cared for while I was a guest here. I can't say enough about Retread. Truly a blessing! I am on my way to a better life and a new beginning."

Linda B.
"This program is more than just a shelter — it’s spiritual, uplifting, and full of people who genuinely care. They offer life skills classes, emotional support, and hope... Because of this program, my daughter and I are no longer just surviving — we are rebuilding. I am forever thankful."

Angela B.
"Just a quick note to say how awesome everyone at Retread was...everyone was extremely kind and loving and had empathy to spare."

Paul A.
“The empathy, care and concern… I was really getting discouraged after several hospitalizations, nursing homes, recuperative care and temporary shelters. I was greeted by caring, empathetic and positive Retread staff. Paperwork, doctor forms and every obstacle presented was handled by my case manager… I thank God for the Retread staff.”
