Donate or Volunteer
TRI appreciates both financial and tangible donations to help our clients transition successfully to self sufficiency. We also rely on the generosity of our community. Sharing your talents, knowledge and your heart with our community can help to change lives one person at a time.
“We will ultimately not be judged by our technology; we won’t be judged by our design; we won’t be judged by our intellect and reason. Ultimately, you judge the character of a society . . . by how they treat the poor, the disfavored, the accused, the incarcerated, and the condemned.”
Bryan Stevenson, TED talk
WELCOME BACK PACKS
When many of our participants leave prison and jail, they have nothing. All the basic hygiene items we take for granted are highly valued essentials for those returning to the community. TRI likes to welcome back our participants with backpacks that are filled with items that will meet not only their basic needs but will also help them transition more effectively. Having all their items in one place that is also portable is vital. Please review the lists below and if you are able to make a donation of any or all of the items, including the backpack, we would be very grateful.
AmazonSmile
The Reentry Initiative is now registered on AmazonSmile, a program that turns your everyday online shopping experience into an opportunity to give. For every item you purchase with Smile, Amazon will donate .5% of each item’s price to the Reentry Initiative. This comes at no extra cost to you, and it helps get much-needed funds to women reentering their local community after prison.
