ABOUT US

WHO WE ARE

Serving USA brings grace and redemption through Christ to Prisoners, Women in Recovery and Military Veterans. We support a network of exceptional partner organizations with funding and other management resources to create, enhance and expand high-quality, evidence-based, transformational programs.

​

WHY WE EXIST

We exist to demonstrate the love of God as we love our neighbors across the USA in three high-need, important spaces

Serving USA Prisoners_edited.jpg

PRISONERS

80%-90% of prisoners will be released back into our communities and over 60% of those will re-offend and go back in. We are making a difference to better prepare these men and women for release and then walk with them when they get out to drastically reduce that recidivism rate.

WOMEN IN RECOVERY

VETERANS

21 military veterans are committing suicide a day. We are making a difference to better support current military veterans, providing tools and resources to overcome their challenges and reduce the suicide rate; restoring them to their families and communities.
