The First 72 +

Fundraiser Story

As Operations Coordinator at The First 72+, I work closely with people coming home from incarceration, helping them access essentials like Medicaid, SNAP, Social Security cards, and birth certificates. Many of our clients are released without these critical documents, stable place to stay, or the social support needed to keep moving. At The First 72+, we work to bridge that gap-offering transitional housing, connection to resources, and a supportive community. I've had the privilege of seeing that growth firsthand-like Mr. Terrance (pictured above!), who recently moved into a place of his own after staying in our transitional housing. Thanks to generous community donations, we were able to help Terrance furnish his new place. Your support helps make these stories possible. Every donation helps meet immediate needs, making sure everyone has the opportunity to come home with dignity and support.

About the Organization

Our mission is to stop the cycle of incarceration by fostering independence and self-sustainability for formerly incarcerated people. Through the leadership and wisdom of formerly incarcerated people themselves, the First 72+ transforms the re-entry experience into one that builds on the strengths and abilities of people returning home from prison and ensures that they, their families, and their communities are given the greatest opportunity to grow and thrive.
