Support Operation Restoration

Operation Restoration (OR) supports women and girls impacted by incarceration to recognize their full potential, restore their lives, and discover new possibilities. 


We believe all women deserve the chance to restore their lives and discover new possibilities. We focus on achieving successful reentry through the advancement of education and the promotion of social reintegration tools including employment training and opportunities, through access to activities that eliminate alienation from their communities. 


Incarceration is defined as confinement in prison, jail, immigrant, juvenile or military detention, or a deportation facility. Impacted women and girls are those that are or have been incarcerated, arrested, are on probation and/or parole.

Operation Restoration is a Section 501(c) (3) charitable organization, EIN 61-1791941. All donations are deemed tax-deductible absent any limitations on deductibility applicable to a particular taxpayer. No goods or services were provided in exchange for your contribution.

As a student from a low-income background that has been exposed to drug abuse and the effects of our criminal justice system, I feel it is my obligation to do what I can to help.

I visited New Orleans from the UK a few years ago and while I loved the city and the culture I couldn’t help but be affected by how poor and disadvantaged the black community so obviously is. Watching everything that’s going on now I can’t help but keep thinking of some of the black people I met, how they must be feeling right now and for their whole lives. I hope this helps someone to keep speaking out
