Its a small gesture but we rededicated an unused space to the residents to do something THEY wanted to do....and they love it

We brought in a lot of new faces this week—20 guys starting over.

One of the first stops is always the clothing closet. Nothing fancy… just racks of clothes, guys digging through, finding something that fits, something they actually like.

You can see it in real time—that shift. From just getting here… to starting to feel like yourself again.

It’s a small thing, but it’s not small.

That’s Magnolia. Just making sure nobody starts over empty-handed.

Welcome home, fellas 💪

We spent the morning with the City of Little Rock at the SYEO orientation and are excited to be partnering to bring summer interns to Magnolia.

These interns will be jumping in to support our upcoming projects and daily operations while gaining real-world experience along the way.

Appreciate Monica Montgomery and the Department of Community Programs for making opportunities like this possible.

Building futures together. 💪

They still have available CITY PAID interns!

Rock Region METRO we know we thanked you once, we wasted no time going on our first official outing with your donation. NLC Greater Little Rock, thank you for continuing to be so welcoming with our guys and congrats on 25 years of service to God and the community.

Lunch was delicious and we took the leftovers downtown and shared them with our homeless brothers and sisters then continued on to have a relaxing day. You see these faces? It's because of y'all.

We need our followers to help us in our gratitude to our donors and support of our residents by simply saying a few kind words...it's free...it matters!

Big thank you to Brandon with Arkansas Hunger Relief Alliance for coming through with watermelon plants for our garden 🙌

Our guys didn’t waste a minute—ground got prepped, rows laid, and those plants are already in the soil. Watching something grow from the ground up hits different when you’re rebuilding your own life at the same time.

This is more than a garden. It’s purpose. It’s pride. It’s something positive to pour into every day.

We need your help to keep it growing 🌱
If you’ve got extra vegetable plants, herbs, flowers, bushes, or gardening supplies—we’ll put them to good use. Nothing goes to waste out here.

Let’s keep building something beautiful together 💚

Picture this:

The guys from The Magnolia Recovery Community —men who’ve actually lived it, been incarcerated, been on probation or parole—are now on the other side of it.

In this packed room full of “law-abiding” professionals, roles got flipped. Now they have to walk it out.

They’re going station to station—banks, courts, social services, probation, doctors, employers—trying to get a job, find housing, secure a check, get help.

And it’s not easy.

What happens when your credit keeps you from getting a place?
When you can’t get a loan?
When paperwork doesn’t make sense?
When there are no beds left?
No resources?
No food?

What happens then?

This is what reentry feels like. Not on paper—real life.
Take a moment to share what you would do
Thank the guys for their participation

We’re on the ground today at the NARP National Reentry Conference, connecting with professionals from across the country who are all working toward the same mission—second chances and real change.

Alongside our CEO, Kasia Pabian, our guys will be actively participating in a hands-on simulation, diving into the real-life challenges individuals face during reentry. It’s one thing to talk about the system—but it’s another to step into it, feel it, and truly understand the barriers people are up against every day.

These experiences matter. They shape how we serve, how we advocate, and how we build programs that actually work.

We’re grateful to be here, learning, growing, and bringing that knowledge back to strengthen our community.

Its been a long day of giving back. Several residents of The Magnolia Recovery Community came together with Riverside Ministries Dentist Little Rock, Arkansas to compliment their feeding of the homeless and underserved populus of little rock and North little rock by sharing in our abundance of clothes donations.

Then we scoured the highways and biways providing snackpacks and clothes to even more, sharing stories, even singing a few karaoke tunes. It was a great day. Many thanks to our guys that assisted in the efforts, join us in thanking them with a few kind words would ya?!
