REINS Executive Director Debbie Shinner is thrilled at the opportunity to collaborate with another non-profit organization in the community

“We are approaching a new era in the non-profit world where collaborations, networking, and sharing resources will ensure the future sustainability of charitable organizations,” said Shinner.
