With our FOUR accessible locations, we are committed to serving the population of two counties. As an organization, we have already provided an impressive 7,773 meals to support these young individuals.

Jail to Jobs is dedicated to promoting values such as honesty, integrity, self-control, generosity, patience, and hard work, which lay the foundation for increased well-being and success. With a completion rate of 80% among participants, our initiative empowers individuals to transition from incarceration to gainful employment and self-sufficiency, fostering positive life transformations. Join us on this journey towards a brighter future.
