We offer support, opportunity, advocacy, and resources through evidence-based reentry programming, interventions, and collaborations with partners who are committed to mitigating/removing barriers to reentry. Our mission is to promote public safety, reduce recidivism, and help people reach their human potential. The Liberty County Re-Entry Coalition's SOAR Re-Entry Center is the hub for community-based reentry services.

We are intentional about how we present our 14-area focus program and how we truly help people access emergency shelter, housing, work, employment preparation, transportation, health care, counseling and other priority care for well-being and stability. Capacity building, partnerships, and knowledge of other providers are a strategic part of the work we do. We work to build consensus, create a culture of help, and provide a bridge for people to navigate barriers. Ongoing street and community outreach is a priority to prevent anyone from falling through the cracks. We engage with other like-minded communities to leverage support and connections through several nontraditional and creative pathways. We collaborate with the Georgia Justice Project, our city and county governments, sheriff and police chief, small businesses, corporations, WorkSource Coastal Job Center, courts, Diversity Health Center, local DCS, Drug Court, food pantry, Hinesville Veterans Administration Clinic, Family Connection, and numerous stakeholders.

Liberty County Re-Entry Coalition, Inc. is a volunteer-driven nonprofit dedicated to improving public safety and reducing recidivism by supporting formerly incarcerated individuals. Since 2016, we've operated the SOAR Re-Entry Center without state funding, relying on local partnerships and community support to serve hundreds of individuals. To prevent future occurrences, we have implemented measures including calendar reminders and consultation with a tax professional to ensure timely filings. We sincerely hope the IRS will consider our circumstances and grant relief from the associated penalties.
