Overview
Mission
We provide a prison ministry by bringing children to see their mothers that are in prison in Chillicothe MO. They are allowed a four hour visit each month in a private room. Volunteers from all over the state bring the kids to see their moms. They have a meal and play together. We also provide parenting classes in hopes that they are better mothers when they return home. And support classes to help them adjust to life in prison without their kids.
What it reported doing in 2024
Support Classes are provided to the offenders after a visit with their kids. It can be emotional for the offenders to be with their kids and then have to send them home.
