Tonya Bailey, Americorps VISTA Leader with the Ohio Association of Second Harvest Food Banks, talks with a Sandusky County inmate about community resources available to assist him in making the transition out of incarceration.
This morning, I journeyed east, to the lovely Fremont, Ohio, for a Reentry Community Resource Fair.
We checked eligibility for public benefits and did applications for recently released and soon-to-be-released Sandusky County inmates.
(Check out the cartoonish black-and-white striped jumpsuits. I didn't realize they still used those!)
We were also supposed to be helping with resumes and job searches, but, alas, no takers.
We, the Ohio Benefit Bank, were in our own little side room, but the main fair, above, was huge and had a nice turnout!
Here's an article about the fair from the Fremont News Messenger.
