Without a stable job, 85% of survivors of human trafficking will likely be trafficked again. Rethreaded was founded 10 years ago by Kristin Keen to provide employment to local survivors and help them rebuild their lives and remove the barrier of employment. Over the last decade, Rethreaded’s mission has been to renew hope, reignite dreams and, release potential for human trafficking survivors locally and globally through business. Rethreaded has employed 74 survivors, contributed to the support of over 4,000 women globally, and collaborated with over 200 companies. Since 2019, Riverside Homes has proudly supported Rethreaded by donating $30,000 annually as a matching gift for their birthday fundraising celebration. The Riverside Homes team is honored to be a part of helping women sew a new story.

Riverside Homes is proud to build this year’s “Home from the Heart” to raise money for Builders Care. As a non-profit and charitable arm of the Northeast Florida Builders Association (NEFBA), Builders Care provides cost-effective construction to the elderly, the disabled and other nonprofits throughout the First Coast. Upon the sale of the home, all proceeds are channeled as a direct donation to Builders Care. This serves as a profoundly significant fundraiser for the organization, contributing a substantial portion to their annual budget.
