For the second year in a row, the Prevention Council and Healing Springs Recovery Community & Outreach Center have come together to donate winter jackets to participants in the Reentry Program at the Saratoga County Correctional Facility.

This meaningful collaboration helps support individuals transitioning back into the community by ensuring they have warm clothing for the winter months.

We’re grateful to the Saratoga County Sheriff's Office for their partnership and continued commitment to supporting positive reentry efforts in our community.
