Serving Our Surroundings
The Pulaski County Regional Detention Center Re-entry program provides participants with a full bag of food when re-entering the community after incarceration.
NASHIA partnered with The City Center, a local food pantry, to make the monetary donations go 10x further in purchasing food items. Thanks to generosity of the NASHIA community, the program was funded for 5 YEARS!
