Ex-cons have kids too

When most of us think about ex-cons, we think of a story we read of how hard it is for them to find a job and that many return to criminal activity to survive. What we rarely think or hear about is their families or their kids. Over 7 million children in the U.S. have a parent in the criminal justice system – many hoping their parent will be home soon. The Center for Employment Opportunities in New York City helps ex-prisoners reenter life and support their families. Jesus said to forgive seven times seventy times, so give an ex-con a chance in your business today. You could be helping a whole family heal.
