We are grateful for the partnership!🧡

The Allegheny County Jail relies on the hard work and passionate dedication of the volunteers in nearly all departments. One such group of volunteers from Peoples Oakland operates the “Bridging the Gap” program, which provides education and resource referrals to incarcerated and recently released individuals suffering from mental illness.

To express their gratitude, ACJ staff joined Peoples Oakland's monthly cookout to prepare and serve food and engage with program participants in a relaxed environment.
