initiatives & services
Bridging the gap between need and resource for returning and high-risk citizens.
Care package
Our care package initiative provides a duffle bag filled with hygiene items. It is designed to help with initial hygiene needs for individuals who are returning to their communities from incarceration and individuals living in residential programs and sober housing. The care package also includes a $50 gift card to a local grocery store, a bible, composition book, and writing instruments.
clothing
Our clothing initiative is designed to provide returning and high-risk citizens help with appropriate seasonal and employment attire. We provide a $50 gift card to a local thrift store. We also offer to accompany the individual and assist with selecting items as needed.
Identification
Our identification service is designed to assist returning and high-risk citizens obtain vital identification records needed to secure gainful employment and housing. We come on site to help individuals complete the required forms for social security cards, birth certificates, and state IDs. We provide financial aid to cover the fees associated with securing identification.
Mentorship
Our mentorship program was established to support individuals as they navigate their lives beyond the confines of incarceration. It is a faith-based program. It is intended for direct interpersonal engagement. This is driven by the conviction that hearts which are redeemed lead to lives that are transformed. The mentor walks through life with individuals while teaching them biblical Christian values that promote healthy and productive living within their community. Although the effectiveness of the mentor-mentee relationship cannot be precisely quantified, evidence suggests that individuals who receive mentorship demonstrate a higher likelihood of successful reintegration compared to those who do not undergo such guidance.
transportation
Our transportation initiative is designed to provide individuals help with getting to work and important appointments. We provide a $50 visa gift card that can be used for Uber/Lyft services or a Septa pass for a month.
direct aid
Our direct aid service is designed to provide returning citizens help with funding for residential programs and sober living/recovery housing.
