Welcome

The Big Bend AFTER (A Fight To End Recidivism) Reentry Coalition is a coalition of individuals and groups united to increase public safety and reduce recidivism through collaborating and establishing community partnerships, identifying and providing services to currently and formerly incarcerated people, and empowering them to become productive, self-sufficient members of the community.

Thank you to 100 Women Who Care

The Big Bend AFTER Reentry Coalition was awarded a grant of $28,800 from 100 Women Who Care of Tallahassee in March of 2026.

This remarkable investment is not only a generous gift but also a powerful affirmation of our mission, our work, and the resilience of the people we serve. Now, we are inviting our community to help us match $28,800, dollar-for-dollar, to secure $57,600 for reentry services in the Big Bend region.
