Welcome to Family Connection’s Website!

This year, we’re celebrating Family Connection’s 11th year of serving and supporting individuals and families with loved ones in prison.
 
We began with our hospitality house on the corner of Minnesota Avenue and 7th Street. Over the years, we’ve grown, adding a second hospitality house. We’ve also added a new program called Children’s Connection, which provides support for children with a close family member in prison.
 
Today we serve hundreds of people each year in our houses, making it possible for them to visit family members who are incarcerated. Guests are not charged, but we do ask for a $5 donation if possible.
 
And, this year Children’s Connection worked with nearly 150 children. For these children, we offer group counseling sessions during their lunch periods. This program has grown tremendously – but over 800 children in the area have a loved one and prison, so there’s still a long way to grow.
 
We invite you to join Family Connection and Children’s Connection through volunteering or making a donation. Thanks for your support!
