BECOME A PENPAL (VIRTUALLY) WITH SOMEONE WHO IS INCARCERATED: Food for Children, Inc. has established a program to provide PenPals to those who are in prison. Our mission is to share normal conversation, stories, and true friendship with those who are incarcerated; to give them a connection to society beyond prison walls.

REQUIREMENTS: To volunteer, you must be at least 18 years old.

WHAT IS NEEDED AND WHY: Volunteer as a PenPal Correspondent with someone who is incarcerated. Make a huge difference in his/her life. You will enrich your life as well. Jeff’s Second Family PenPal Ministry is a community of caring people who believe in second chances.
