ARCH Updates

Volunteer with ARCH! 

People coming out of incarceration often have nothing but the clothes on their back.

We're looking for volunteers to pick out clothes on a weekly basis for these individuals from partner thrift stores.

This volunteering opportunity won't cost you anything but your time!

If you're interested, contact us at: [email protected]!

Additional Local Reentry Events and Updates 

2021 Building Bridges Community Experience

Oct 14 - 16, 2021

From the website: 

"Successful and safe reentry takes all of us. You. Me. We. When everybody’s involved, included, interconnected in efforts to create a better system of reentry, everybody wins in the community. Simply put, when everyone does something, no one has to do everything.

Join us for this year‘s Community Experience where we offer opportunities for connecting and collaborating in your community context. From breakout sessions to community gatherings, the 2021 Community Experience is designed for you to find your passion point, your purpose, your place, and your people to co-labor in Building Bridges of Opportunity for reentry."

  

 

Thanks!
