Born Out of
Crisis & Compassion
Harvest of Angels was founded by Rena Martinez — a woman whose life has been defined by service, sacrifice, and an unshakable love for her community. Born in South Carolina and raised in Wichita Falls, Texas, Rena began pouring into her community from a young age, coaching children and building a legacy of giving long before Harvest of Angels had a name.
When Hurricane Katrina devastated Mississippi, Rena answered the call — moving there to rebuild homes for families free of charge. But Texas never left her heart. She returned to Wichita Falls and established Harvest of Angels, a sober living group home for men transitioning out of incarceration, giving them the structure, support, and second chance they deserve.
Rena's mother brought her to Wichita Falls at a young age — and it is here that her heart for community first took root, coaching youth in sports and serving her neighbors.
Rena moved to Mississippi to serve families devastated by Hurricane Katrina — rebuilding their homes with her own hands, free of charge, and restoring hope where disaster had taken hold.
Texas never left her heart. Rena returned to Wichita Falls and founded Harvest of Angels — a full year-long sober living program for men coming out of incarceration, built on faith, structure, and a genuine second chance.
