Coming home from prison is joyful — but it’s also overwhelming. After years inside, people often return without the stability, resources, or support they need. The Homecoming Fund ensures they don’t face reentry alone.

Because of donors like you, hundreds of people are home this holiday season: playing with grandkids, cooking with their children, creating life-changing memories.


Every donation brings someone one step closer to a life where freedom feels like home.
