In recognition of Second Chance Month P2R hosted for justice impacted individuals with the help of Carey's Gathering Place; Lorain Club of NBPW; New Life Global Fellowship; Norlan Williams and Art Conceptions. The event was a huge success. The attendees from Lorain County, Cleveland and Akron created a dialogue to support long term reentry goals. It was a positive experience for all; iron sharpening iron. The Men of P2R did their Big One. Thank you all for participating and big shout out to our partners.
