Why give?

Donating to The Chad Lake Foundation’s Rehabilitation Over Incarceration campaign is a powerful way to make a positive impact on individuals and society. Here are some compelling reasons to support this cause:

  • Reduce Stigma: By donating, you are helping to reduce the stigma associated with substance use disorders. The campaign promotes education and awareness, encouraging society to view addiction through a compassionate and informed lens.

  • Support Rehabilitation Programs: Your contribution aids in the development and implementation of reentry programs that prepare individuals for successful reintegration into society. These programs provide the necessary tools and support to help them lead productive, fulfilling lives post-incarceration.

  • Economic Benefits: Successful reentry reduces the financial burden on the criminal justice system. It costs significantly less to support someone through a reentry program than to incarcerate them. Additionally, individuals who reintegrate successfully contribute to the economy through employment and paying taxes.

  • Transform Lives: Your donation helps provide essential rehabilitation services that empower individuals to overcome addiction and rebuild their lives. By supporting this campaign, you are directly contributing to reducing recidivism and promoting long-term recovery.

  • Promote Public Safety: By helping individuals build stable, productive lives, reentry programs contribute to safer communities. When people have access to housing, employment, and mental health services, they are less likely to engage in criminal activities.

  • Promote Social Justice: Supporting reentry programs is a step towards a more equitable society. These programs address systemic issues and provide opportunities for individuals who have been marginalized and disadvantaged.

“Promoting rehabilitation over incarceration is crucial for breaking the cycle of addiction and recidivism. Instead of punitive measures that often exacerbate the problem, we need to invest in comprehensive rehabilitation programs that address the root causes of addiction. These programs provide individuals with the support and resources they need to recover, reintegrate into society, and lead fulfilling lives.

Rehabilitation changed my life, and I am committed to helping others find the same hope and recovery that I did.
