• Donate: Donate monetarily to buy new clothes for individuals released from custody.
• Buy Clothes: Buy or donate new clothes for reentry clients leaving custody.

💪 Supporting Change

Every day at the County of Santa Clara Reentry Resource Center, we see clients ready to make dramatic changes in their lives. But having a felony record can be almost as restrictive as being incarcerated. Access to jobs, housing, and other opportunities becomes incredibly limited due to employment and housing restrictions and social stigma.

Yet despite these challenges, we see clients determined to clear those hurdles. They are taking college credit classes, working their way up from minimum-wage jobs to management positions and union apprenticeships, and some are entering peer mentoring and counseling professions to help those who are following in their footsteps.

You can help support individuals who are just starting this journey to change their lives and share their talents with our community. Each person you help to rise up makes our community stronger.
