R.E.S.T.O.R.E. is a nonprofit organization that is dedicated to helping justice impacted women be successful in every aspect of life.

ABOUT US

RESTORE is a nonprofit organization that is dedicated to helping ex-offenders be successful in every aspect of life. Our goal is to provide the tools needed to not only live, but to be successful and live a fulfilling life. The process of leaving prison can be difficult, especially for returning citizens that had to serve lengthy sentences. Many have a difficult time on the outside after serving their sentences. They have difficulties finding jobs, adequate housing or even attaining photo identification. These difficulties lead to more problems and often cause the ex-offenders to get into trouble again. Our goal is to mitigate these problems to allow them to concentrate on adjusting to life on the outside.

Our Quadplex is taking shape, and we’re on track to complete it in fall 2026!

This new housing will give women who have graduated from R.E.S.T.O.R.E. a place to continue building stability and independence.

We are deeply grateful to the Delores Barr Weaver Legacy Fund for its generous $400,000 matching gift, to A.J. Anderson Construction for its work, and to our supporters for helping make this vision possible.

Take a look at our progress! Every step brings us closer to opening the doors and giving more women another chance.

Motivational Monday

“A new week is a new opportunity to believe in what’s possible.”

Every Monday brings a fresh beginning—a chance to pause, reflect on how far we’ve come, and believe that there is still more ahead.

At RESTORE, we believe in the power of possibility. We believe that a difficult chapter does not have to define the entire story. With support, opportunity, encouragement, and a community willing to show up, new paths can begin to unfold.

That’s why we’re looking forward to celebrating RESTORE’s 8th Annual Dance, Dine & Donate Gala on Saturday, November 7, 2026, at 7:00 PM at WJCT Studio.

This special evening is more than a celebration—it’s an opportunity to come together in support of justice-impacted women as they work toward healing, stability, and brighter futures.

A night of purpose. A future of possibilities.

Whether you purchase a ticket, become a sponsor, make a donation, or simply share RESTORE’s mission with someone who needs to know about it, you can be part of creating possibility.

🎟️ Don’t wait—secure your tickets today and join us for an evening that celebrates hope, purpose, and restoration.

Let’s step into this new week believing that better days, new opportunities, and meaningful change are possible.

She is not her past. She is what she chose to become.

At R.E.S.T.O.R.E., we believe every woman deserves the opportunity to move from surviving to thriving.

To rebuild.
To rediscover herself.
To rise.

But second chances require more than hope.
They require a community willing to believe in what’s possible.

And you can be part of that community.

💜 Join us for R.E.S.T.O.R.E.’s Dance, Dine & Donate Gala on November 7 at WJCT.

Come celebrate the women who are rewriting their stories — and help us continue creating pathways to thriving.

🎟️ Your ticket is more than a seat at the Gala. It’s an investment in a second chance.

Honoring Black Philanthropy & Community Impact

R.E.S.T.O.R.E.’s Founder and Executive Director, Rebecca Smith, was honored to serve on a powerful Black Philanthropy Month panel alongside dedicated leaders committed to creating meaningful change in our communities.

Rebecca shared that her understanding of philanthropy began with her parents and the small-town community where she grew up—where she witnessed people caring for one another by giving their time, talents, resources, and connections, often without recognition.

She also reminded us that Black philanthropy is not new—and it is not always publicized. Just because a name isn’t displayed on a building or a donation isn’t shared publicly doesn’t mean the giving isn’t happening.

Philanthropy is often found in the quiet acts of service, generosity, mentorship, advocacy, and community care that happen every day.

R.E.S.T.O.R.E. is grateful to Rebecca for representing our organization and sharing this important perspective. We’re also thankful for the members of the Like Minds, Like Hearts Giving Circle who showed their support by attending the event.

Together, we continue to honor the legacy of giving while creating opportunities for communities to thrive.

HELP US CELEBRATE TELEAH! 🎓

Today, we’re celebrating an incredible milestone for one of our R.E.S.T.O.R.E. sisters, Teleah !

Teleah officially completed her studies at Sharron’s Nursing Academy today! 👏🏽🎉 And while earning her certification is an accomplishment all on its own, what makes her journey even more inspiring is the dedication and determination it took to get here.

For six weeks, Teleah worked full-time while attending school full-time—showing up day after day, balancing work and her education, and staying committed to the goal she set for herself. That takes discipline, sacrifice, and an unwavering belief in what’s possible.

And she’s not stopping here!

🎓 Studies: COMPLETED
📝 Next Step: State Board Examination
💙 Goal: A career in healthcare

Teleah, we are so proud of you! Your journey is a beautiful reminder that your past does not have to define your future. When you’re willing to work for the life you envision, new doors can open.

We’re cheering you on as you take the next step toward your healthcare career! May this accomplishment be just the beginning of everything that’s ahead.

Congratulations, Teleah! You did it!
