‘Welcome Back’ Back Pack needs:
When many of our participants leave prison and jail, they have nothing. Literally 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.
We are in need of clean and empty back packs in addition to items to fill them.
Female hygiene supplies (men get the same minus the sanitary napkins, tampons and hairspray). We can always use:
If you are able to donate any items, we would be very grateful. To make a tangible donation please contact us at info@reentryinitiative.org.
