Pour yourself a Quarantini, or other adult beverage, and join your friends for a a bit socializing and cheer. Not great, but it beats the alternative. See you there.
As you can imagine, for someone who has been wearing prison greens for years, proper civilian clothing is a must and is sorely needed. (New York, which is not atypical, gives a released inmate only $40 and a bus ticket home.) This year’s drive will take place on Wednesday, March 18, 2020 before our regular meeting.
Just bring those gently worn items (suits, ties, shirts, pants, sweaters, coats, etc.) that’s been clogging up your closet to the DCA parking lot before our meeting on May 4. A Hudson Link van will be waiting to take it to the Hudson Link office in Ossining, where it will be Ossining office where it will change someone’s life. It will be much appreciated!
It costs $60,000/yr to incarcerate a person. The NY the recidivism rate is 43% – a stunning waste of money and lives. However, Hudson Link, through counseling, education, and help with reentry, has a recidivism rate of just 2%. Part of the help with reentry is a professional wardrobe that can help land a job and find housing.
Last year the clothing drive was a huge success. Let’s make it happen again.
