It is difficult for those re-entering into society after being incarcerated. It takes approximately 2-4 months to become eligible for the SNAP program for food. It is also incredibly difficult to go to job interview without proper attire. We all know that when you look good, you feel good. So, if we can help, in a few little ways, to help those re-entering into our community, we are happy to do so. We are collecting: Grocery Gift Cards, Professional Attire, and Hygiene products for both Men and Women.
