Empowering Women And Children Impacted By The Criminal Justice System
Greetings!

As we prepare for the beginning of the fall season, here's a few exciting updates we wanted to share with you.

Our annual back-to-school event for children with a loved one impacted by incarceration was a success. We distributed hundreds of backpacks and other school supplies New Hour families in need, had a great barbecue, and even hosted on a puppet show by Goat on a Boat. Special shout out to photographer Johnny Perez for capturing the day. Thank you to all of the amazing community members and organizations who made this day possible!
Next week, our Fall 2022 EMERGE 15-week training class for women in reentry will begin. This marks our 9th leadership and advocacy class with over 75 past graduates! We look forward to providing this new group of women with the resources and skills necessary to survive and thrive.
As we prepare for our fall reentry and jail programs, we need your help to make sure every woman and mother returning home from incarceration has clothing and toiletry products needed to live with dignity and to ensure their stability and success.

We were proud to join a Project Dignity drive hosted by County Legislator Bridget Fleming, along with Southampton Village Mayor Jesse Warren, Sheriff Errol Toulon, our partners at the Sound Justice Initiative and our founding donors George and Patty Kraus.
