All In Community responses include:.
- Wallets for Women provide a safe place for women leaving the Ohio Reformatory for Women to hold documents and other items essential to securing housing, employment, and services. The wallets, which may be newly purcahsed or gently used, will be collected at the Mission Table throughout the month of September. If you would like to donate toward the purchase of wallets, click HERE and choose the Wallets for Women button.
- Welcome Home Bags Welcome Home a Returning Citizen. A person released from prison or jail faces many challenges and often lacks essential items. During the month of February, pick up a bag at the mission table in the main hall, fill it with the personal care items listed and return it so that these essentials can be given to a re-entering citizen. Men’s items are especially needed. Individual items may be given instead of filling a bag. Contact sandyhuber@powellumc.org
- HOPE Letters is a regular mentoring correspondence with incarcerated men and women in Ohio’s state prisons. This is a signature initiative of the West Ohio Conference. Training and a year’s commitment is required. Contact sandyhuber@powellumc.org.
- Support of transitional sober living at Liberty and Unity Houses, Delaware OH. (Ministries of https://www.jacobsway.org/)
