Your Donation Transforms Lives and Reduces Recidivism.
Our Mission
At R.E.S.T.O.R.E. our mission is to break the cycle of recidivism by providing formerly incarcerated women with a safe, supportive environment within our residential homes. In each of our homes, we provide the tools, support, and education that women need to rebuild their lives.
The Problem
Formerly incarcerated women face significant barriers when transitioning back into society, leading to a high risk of recidivism. Recidivism like this drains billions from the economy and destabilizes communities by perpetuating cycles of poverty, broken families, and crime.
The recidivism crisis cannot be addressed without breaking down these barriers.
