THE RECLAMATION PROJECT is a non-profit that exists to embrace and empower Fort Wayne's international refugee population; and at the same time, we're also redeeming the potential of the grand RialtoTheater! We're breathing life into this historic treasure and transforming it into the Rialto World Café and Cultural Center - a gathering place designed to engage and serve our growing international community. Click here to learn more!
CIRCLE OF FRIENDS ~ Through the Circle of Friends, Fort Wayne residents are connected to newly arriving families to help them adjust to life in America - to be a friend that assists with pressing issues such as transportation, grocery shopping and a wide variety of other cultural transition points. All that's needed from you is a willing heart and some spare time! If you'd like to learn more about this exciting cross cultural opportunity, you can contact Angie Harrison through our Contact page above.
YOUR FINANCIAL PARTNERSHIP is crucial as we press forward with this project! All gifts toward this effort are tax deductible. For your convenience, you can give online or mail a donation. Find more information at this link: Project Donation
FREE LEGAL CLINIC ~ TRP hosts a Free Legal Clinic the third Saturday of every month, from 10am-12noon at the Rialto's Gallery (2614 South Calhoun).
TRP is partnering with the Neighborhood Christian Legal Clinic and local attorneys to provide what we hope will be a valuable service to our community! NCLC is an Indianapolis based, non-profit agency which provides legal representation in a broad range of areas, with immigration law specifically being one of their areas of expertise.
All consultations with the attorneys present are handled on a first come, first served basis. For more information about NCLC, you can visit them at: www.nclegalclinic.org. **Please note that NCLC does not handle divorce, criminal or personal injury cases.
BUY THE BOOK!
It details the faith journey of TRP which ultimately led to the purchase of the historic Rialto. It's being carried by local Anchor Room bookstores and Mitchell Books, but if you'd like to order it online, you can find the Amazon link by clicking here.
Your purchase of this book will help support the ever steady progress of the Rialto’s rebirth, as well as TRP's ongoing efforts to serve the international refugee population of Fort Wayne!
TRP DESIGNATED AS A CHDO ~ Many of the refugee families that arrive in Fort Wayne are quite large! The one or two bedroom apartments available to them can be cramped, so TRP’s goal as a Community Housing Development Organization is to acquire suitable and reasonably priced properties, and through volunteer assistance, equip and rehabilitate each residence for occupancy. Ultimately, this leads to home ownership for the refugee family, which we believe is a healthy part of the American dream. Indeed, without this possibility, a refugee's resettlement and assimilation into life in America can't be complete. We've finished our first rehab project, located at 1105 Home Ave, and if you'd like to learn more about our next project (4430 Monroe), you can contact Angie Harrison through our Contact page above.
