Thank you for a successful 4th Annual Walk for Belonging!
I still want to donate
Thank you to all who joined, donated money and raffle items, shared personal stories, volunteered, and supported this year’s Walk for Belonging! We continue to celebrate those rebuilding their lives after incarceration. We’re so grateful to community partners Living With Conviction and Civil Survival as well as our generous event sponsors. Thank you to Scott Nelson and Marriam Oliver for photographing the event. It takes all of us to create safe, thriving communities!
With your support we raised more than $13,000 for reentry efforts! These critical funds allow us to keep permanent, supportive housing in place. Additionally, your contribution provides crucial resources such as programming and case management.

Join a Community Workshop
Thanks to all who attended the recent Advanced Deepening Community workshop! These special gatherings are a powerful way to build trust in ourselves and each other, enjoy play and levity, and explore meaningful topics. Participants of our most recent workshop chose a focus of “Navigating Grief Through Uncertainty.”
Our community workshops use Alternatives to Violence Project (AVP) curriculum which include the opportunity to gather in circle, join authentic conversations, and use small group problem solving, all of which build resilience and promote trauma healing. Join us in creating safer, more connected communities!
Stay tuned for upcoming workshops! Questions? Contact Us.
Join a Community Circle
We hold weekly zoom community circles on Tuesday evenings with a mix of justice-involved individuals and community allies. These are times of mindfulness, sharing, resources and fun! You are welcome to drop in any week, with no commitment or cost.
Our next in-person potluck dinner and community circle is scheduled for Tuesday, July 15th from 6-8 PM.
For meeting details, please Contact Us.
Join an Open House at our Restorative Home
We provide regular opportunities for community partners, reentry organizations, and housing placement agencies to visit our Restorative Home. We’re proud of our program and want you to meet our members! Contact us for details about our next open house.
Join a Community Conversation
These special events include personal stories shared by our members about the challenges they’ve faced emerging from incarceration, homelessness and addiction. They’re designed to educate, inspire and catalyze action.
Contact us if you’d like to host or sponsor a Community Conversation for your next gathering.
“Everyone deserves to have a safe space to live and not be judged, where they feel welcomed, and are able to feel like they belong. I always try to support space for growth and learning so that everyone can have the chance to learn and grow with others who can help broaden their views.”
