Hello

Renewing Pasadena and Altadena one home at a time

Those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.
Isaiah 40:31

What we do

Renew Dena is a family sponsorship initiative that whose goal is to connect fire-impacted households with local churches for three to twelve months of direct support.

Every $1,000/month raised sponsors a family with:

  • Immediate financial relief for essentials like groceries, temporary housing, and furniture replacement
  • Monthly encouragement from a sponsor church through prayer, notes, and check-ins
  • Ongoing care coordination to help navigate recovery resources and next steps

We're not just after rebuilding—we're after renewal. Renewing families with financial support, prayer, and hope.
