Why it matters

Basic needs are the foundation of a fresh start.

Soap, deodorant and a toothbrush shouldn't stand between anyone and a job interview, a school day or their own confidence. Our hygiene program puts those essentials within reach so people can focus on moving forward.

The program runs out of the PMP Resource Center in Ripley, alongside our reentry support, financial education and workforce programs.

Protecting My Peace Foundation supports justice-impacted individuals and families as they rebuild their lives through reentry support, financial education, workforce readiness, and access to essential resources.

How it works

Three steps. No hoops.

Everything is free. We only ask that you tell us what you need. You never have to share your personal history to get support.
