WHAT THEY DO: Ministry of Hope serves inmates at Western Correctional Center for Women, the largest minimum-security women’s prison in Western North Carolina.

Ministry of Hope has made it possible for me and others to confront our choices from the past and begin to make peace with them. I’m not sure I would be on this path if not for Ministry of Hope’s gargantuan effort in peeling back the layers and helping me discover the fabric of who I am.
