Petway Family Exemplifies the Spirit of Giving

During this season of Thanksgiving, Operation New Hope extends our most sincere thanks and gratitude to the Petway Family for their continued support and commitment to providing hope to individuals returning to our community. Their most recent gift of $100,000 will help us support people as they overcome the many barriers following incarceration – like lack of affordable housing and transportation and limited access to job training and living-wage employment.

The Petway Family has been a great supporter of our reentry work over the years. They generously provided us with a crisis grant at the beginning of the pandemic to ensure we could continue providing support services to some of the most vulnerable in our community. Also with a multi-year gift, they helped us launch our Breaking the Cycle program, which provides family reunification services to break the cycle of generational incarceration. They have also donated many times to support our Ready4Work program helping us to provide case management, supportive services, job training, and job placement assistance to our clients.
