Thank you to everyone inspired by the Jenifer McShane-directed Netflix documentary The Quilters to reach out to the Missouri Department of Corrections and offer donations and words of support. We, too, are moved by the film and are, every day, awestruck by the generous and beautiful work done by Missourians in our Restorative Justice Organization programs.
In addition to South Central Correctional Center (SCCC), the department supports quilting programs at multiple other sites. Donations of quilting supplies and equipment are needed and appreciated. However, we currently are OVERWHELMED by donations and are running out of storage space for fabric and yarn.
Please consider a monetary donation to our Restorative Justice Organization programs, all of which rely on donations and volunteers.
RJO programs throughout the state give residents of our facilities the chance to give back to the community in many ways, including:
- Cultivating prison gardens and donating fresh produce to area food banks
- Training and socializing rescue dogs for adoption by Missouri families
- Completing woodworking projects for donation to area nonprofits
- Creating educational materials for Missouri kids
- Producing audio and braille publications for visually impaired Missourians
