HUMILITY UNDERSTANDING GOD GRACE SPIRITUAL STRENGTH

H.U.G.G.S. Provides help for men and women who have been incarcerated
establish healthy, useful, and joyful lives in society, and prevent recidivism. We do this through counseling training, information, and financial assistance.

When Sherri Jackson, an ex-offender, was released from prison, she found so many doors closed and very little help from the community. It was apparent that ex-offenders needed help to find their way back into the community to be become active and productive citizens.

H.U.G.G.S is an acronym: Humility, Understanding, God, Grace and Spiritual Strength, It was founded by Ms. Jackson and became a non-profit organization in September of 2006, by December 2006, H.U.G.G.S. had 300 clients.

It has since grown into an established ex-offenders community program. It is a successful and empowering tool for our clients who diligently work the program.
