We broke ground on Restoration Village in 2021 and the progress into this year has been thrilling to watch. Located in Wellford, SC, this 26-acre campus will serve as a beacon of hope, love, and opportunity for men and women returning to our community from incarceration. It will also serve as the national model for cities and states who want to help returning citizens have a future greater than their past.

The first three 3-bedroom homes were completed this year, and construction for the overall development of the village continues to move forward as planned. Despite the grueling heat of the South Carolina summer, July brought a buzz of excitement as we watched the first residents move in and occupy the first completed home.

Our 2023 plans for Restoration Village include four additional homes, an opportunity center that will have classrooms, a commercial kitchen for teaching culinary arts, and event space for community events and worship. Read more about these projects and how you can be a part on page 15.
