Returning-citizens often re-enter society with nothing, and an overburdened social worker system that just simply cannot meet the needs of these vulnerable individuals. The feeling of being totally unequipped can break people's motivations from the start.

 

As part of our services, we provide a care package equipped with:

• Food

• Planners​

• Bus passes

• Portable mirror

• Hygiene supplies

• An affordable smart-phone to apply for jobs on

• Resource binders with phone numbers, apartment information, food banks, and a catalog of jobs in their community
