2019 Charity Recipient – Reto To Hope 

The drug addiction phenomenon has no boundaries; it knows no racial or social distinctions. Reto To Hope Australia desires to be a door of hope, where people can leave their problems of substance abuse and enter a life of fulfillment and purpose.

Reto To Hope Australia has been serving our greater Brisbane community for nearly a decade now. Their small men's rehab farm on the southside has seen many lives transformed. In 2019 Reto's desire to further impact our community is stronger than ever as they work towards their new big goal of opening up a women's rehab facility in the not too distant future.
