Wernersville Reentrants Serve Community

Eight reentrants from Wernersville Community Corrections Center (CCC) participated in a community service event on April 16. Pathways, the special unit for seriously mentally ill reentrants that operate out of the CCC, was notified by Dave Poland at Big Vision Sport Complex that they were in need of assistance to prepare fields for upcoming youth sports events.

Wernersville CCC jumped at the chance to help and spent six hours at the facility in Leesport, Pa. Reentrants helped clean leaves, spread grass seed, prepare garbage areas and construct batting cages. The day was a huge success and Big Vision was very grateful for the assistance.

Shortly after, the facility got a call from Father Ed Essig of Saint Francis de Sales church in Robesonia. Father Ed said he could use some help moving some old furniture out of the church and bringing some new furniture in. Again, Wernersville CCC jumped at the opportunity and assisted Father Ed in completing the task. Overall, it was a great week for community service and we are just getting started!
