Reunion
Property Management is a management agency of RPF that was formed in 2001 to
manage RPF property in Rogers Park and to provide a variety of services for
neighbors and properties in the Northeast neighborhoods of Chicago and the
Southeast neighborhoods of Evanston.These services include property and project management, remodeling,
maintenance, janitorial, snow removal and plowing.RPM also provides delivery and repair
services for Plain and Simple Amish Furniture and others needing such services.
With a vision for providing sustainable forms of transportation and participating in Kingdom building work, some former RPF interns and apprentices began this bicycle repair not-for profit in 2005.
The Reba Services Office provides business office administration and bookkeeping and accounting services to RPF as well as other affiliated non-profits.
Workdays/Moves
Like many monastic communities, common work is an important part of our life together at Reba. Members have collectively worked to maintain our buildings and property over the years while also showing love and support by assisting other community members in moving from one residence to another.
In 2004 Reba Place Fellowship
decided to use its connection with Mennonite
and Amish friends in Northern Indiana to provide a retail outlet for Amish furniture. Reba's vision
included providing quality products at good prices, paying producers
fairly for their work, and combining what is simple and functional with
what is elegant and beautiful.
Since
its inception, RPF has acquired housing in the immediate neighborhood for its
members to live in. Until the mid-1970's RPF acquired exclusively large
homes or two-flats; since that time Reba has acquired a number of apartment buildings
which provide housing to not only members of RPF and Reba Place Church but also
to our neighbors. Responding to a changing economic climate in
Southeast-Evanston, Reba Place Church and Fellowship established a
not-for-profit affordable housing ministry in 1995.
Community Creations
RPF Member Hilda Carper has been making greeting cards under the name Community Creations since the mid-90's. Several other Reba artists are joining in on the effort, selling pottery, drawings, illustrations, and other commissioned art through Community Creations.
