Recover. Recenter. Restore.

Every year, thousands of men and women are released from prison, but their struggles don’t end there. Without help, they often have trouble finding shelter, employment, friends, and hope. Many face the challenges of addiction as well. As a result, former inmates often return to the same habits which landed them in prison in the first place. Many end up back in prison.

But you can help! Reaching Up and Reaching Out is on a mission to help give former inmates a second chance. By the grace of God, we seek to help these people find stability, community, purpose, and faith.

Forget the former things;
do not dwell on the past.
See, I am doing a new thing!
Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?
I am making a way in the wilderness
and streams in the wasteland.

Isaiah 43:18-19
