🎉🎓 BIG CONGRATS to our brother Israel Holt on graduating Carver County Treatment Court and a recent graduate of David’s House! 🎓🎉

This is HUGE! Treatment Court isn’t easy. It takes humility, consistency, accountability, and a whole lot of courage. Israel, you stayed the course, did the work, and trusted the process. That’s what real growth looks like.

Your story is proof that change is possible and that freedom is worth fighting for. The wreckage of your past is now becoming someone else’s hope.

So proud of you, brother! Keep leading by example.
It’s always… Hope to the Hopeless! 💪💙

Repping ATO at Minnesota Alliance of Recovery Community Organizations Harm Deduction Summit!

Matt R. Moeller speaking in St Cloud! Matt is an incredible inspiration to so many!!

Restorative Justice Pastor Matt Moeller of Westwood Community Church recently spoke to incarcerated men at MCF-St. Cloud.

Pastor Moeller spent almost 20 years incarcerated with the DOC and taught restorative justice principles to fellow incarcerated individuals from 2016 – 2020.

At the St. Cloud event, he talked about accountability, saying it starts with a mindset shift – if you change your thinking, you change your behavior. He said that while he was incarcerated, he woke up one day and decided to stop living as a child and became an adult. He began living restoratively in every aspect of life, noting that it can help honor those who have been harmed.
