Department of Correction Second Chance Month Community Resource Events

Dover, DE – On Wednesday, April 26 the Delaware Department of Correction/Probation and Parole is partnering with state and local service providers and area employers to sponsor Community Resource events in Probation and Parole offices in New Castle, Dover, and Georgetown.  These free events are open to justice involved individuals and all members of the community and feature a wide variety of on-site assistance to meet basic needs and to connect participants to employment opportunities, share referrals to social services, provide addiction resources, and more.  The Resource Events will be held in:

  • New Castle at the Hares Corner Probation and Parole office (26 Parkway Circle) from 10 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.
  • Dover at the Dover Probation and Parole office (511 Maple Parkway) from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
  • Georgetown at the Probation and Parole Georgetown office (22855 Dupont Boulevard) from 8:30 a.m. to 11:00 a.m.

“Our Probation and Parole Offices are gateways to second chances, and our Probation Officers and correctional programming and treatment providers are truly committed to supporting public safety while meeting our reentry mission through a variety of rehabilitation supports,” Commissioner Monroe B. Hudson Jr. said. “Successful probation outcomes are driven by a balanced approach to supervision and the Department of Correction backs that up through partnerships with non-profit and government service providers and local employers to provide basic necessities and meet longer term needs.  We invite all members of our community to stop by our Second Chance Month Community Resource events to get connected to the many resources available to you.”

The Probation and Parole Community Resource Events were organized exclusively by Probation and Parole Officers.  They come as the Department of Correction marks Second Chance Month which is celebrated across the nation each April to recognize the importance of helping individuals, communities, and agencies and organizations that play a role in supporting safe and successful reentry for those who return to the community from incarceration each year. Second Chance Month activities inform and highlight the many opportunities government agencies, service providers, and employment partners to strengthen second chance opportunities for returning community members.

The Department of Correction thanks the more than a dozen community and employer partners who are participating in Wednesday’s events, including the Delaware Department of Labor, Delaware Center for Justice, Delaware Department of Health and Social Services, First State Community Action Agency, People’s Place, Oxford House, American Treatment Network, Impact Life, Resolve Staffing, Mountaire, Johnny Janosik, SoDel Concepts, CVS Pharmacy, and others.
