Safer Communities Ministry is currently acting as an intermediary agency working to assemble and secure official state recognition of a reentry council to serve Union and Anson Counties.

A local reentry council is an organized network of individuals and agencies that coordinate resources at a local level to help ex-offenders and their families to create a better transition from incarceration back to society. A local reentry council will help formerly incarcerated individuals become productive citizens and reduce recidivism and the economic strain to county governments of housing more incarcerated individuals.

The Reentry Council meets every 2nd Tuesday of the month at 2 pm. If you’d like to attend, register here to receive a formal invitation with more details.
