DETAILS

Join Episcopal Connections, The Church Club of New York for an evening of meaningful service and community building with Hudson Link for Higher Education in Prison. Participants will assemble care packages for individuals transitioning from incarceration back into their communities, providing essential supplies including job search tools, toiletries, and personal care items that support successful and healthy reentry. These kits are a critical demonstration of care for Hudson Link alumni. For more than a quarter-century, Hudson Link has provided college education and comprehensive reentry support to incarcerated and formerly incarcerated people in New York State. Their remarkable impact speaks for itself: over 2,000 alumni have returned to their families and communities with a recidivism rate of less than 2%. This collaborative event embodies Episcopal Connections, The Church Club's purpose of education, fellowship, and spiritual formation while supporting Hudson Link's vision of breaking cycles of crime and poverty through education and community support. Come be part of transformation through service! This event is designed with multiple entry points to fit your schedule.
