Mission Statement:To provide an efficient and supportive network of assistance for citizens re-entering our community after incarceration, those homeless and others at-risk in Whatcom County. Winter 2011 Fund Raising Appeal For people who have conviction histories, the barriers to successful re-entry into society are enormous - which means that 2/3 of the people fail and return to prison. Our community loses on every front: families fail, human potential is lost, the costs are escalating, and our institutions are stretched. With economic challenges increasing, the need to help these citizens transition back into our community is crucial! The Coalition has many programs that are all volunteer - and we are asking you to help us help more. We need a physical office and meeting space to carry out our larger goals, and the cost is estimated at $600/ month. We ask for your financial support to help people stabilize so they can get a job! Example: Monthly bus pass $30 Background checks, each $50 Interview or work clothes $100 Bicycle (work transportation) used $150 Housing Deposit $150 Room rent - month $450 We have provided assistance to hundreds of people who have been impacted, and we have several programs you can read about at WhatcomREC.org. With your help - we can leverage our work and make a huge difference - ultimately this brings more safety and prosperity to our community! Our Goal is to build our ReStoreALife Center that would include: - Housing - transitional - Employment/education, functional literacy, life skills - Recovery Center (addiction and wellness treatment), wellness training Gifts and donations of any amount are greatly appreciated!
