Restoring Places Renewing Community.
We're local people working together to bring new life, pride, and possibility to communities throughout Dixie County.
Doin' it for the Love
of Dixie County, FL
Restore & Renew is a grassroots, 100% volunteer-run community revitalization organization with deep roots in Dixie County, Florida. There are no paid positions, every person who shows up does so because they love this place and believe in its potential. Our work focuses on restoring and renewing the physical places that shape community pride, hope, and vitality, beginning in our county seat, Cross City, and growing throughout Dixie County, Florida.
Every project we take on is powered by neighbors helping neighbors. We believe that when you invest in the places people call home, you invest in the community's future.
