What Is It?
Freedom Life Program helps individuals who have a criminal record and may have faced incarceration encounter a wide range of spiritual, mental, medical, relational, and practical needs as they seek to transition back into the community. There are people in our neighborhoods who are struggling to overcome their past. Many do not have the support they need to gain new footing and break through unhealthy life cycles that impact themselves, their families, and the community. They need our help. Freedom Life collaborates with our community in providing aid and support that will help our justice involved neighbors turn the cycles of their past into opportunity for a new life filled with hope.
