What Clients and Supporters Are Saying

“OAR fills a huge gap in our criminal justice system. We learned of OAR in the days felons were released at midnight with just the belongings they went in with. Imagine being released with your summer clothes in the dead of winter! We have supported OAR form then on. Over time, OAR has expanded its critical service offerings, amplifying their impact on the lives of justice-involved community members and their families.”

Shashi & MArgaret Gupta

“OAR is a great organization. It helped me to reintegrate back into society and its resources, as limited as they are, they were sufficient enough to help me basically get myself on the right path.”

Joseph O. – OAR Client

"After retirement, I was looking to volunteer for an organization that would give me the opportunity to do something positive. Working in the OAR office helping the newly released population has been a wonderful way to fulfill my need to add some kindness in this world."

Cecilia Healy - OAR Volunteer

"My role at OAR is within the Fairfax County ADC, teaching classes, coaching clients, and assisting our amazing volunteer team as they do the same. This role is important to me because folks who are incarcerated often have the “perfect storm” of turning point factors, and we want them to turn the right direction! "

Jamie M. - OAR Staff Member
