Project New Start

Our Project New Start program begins in the Forsyth County Jail where we do a women's Bible Study once a week with the female inmates.  Upon release, they are invited to attend Project New Start at the Hawley House which is held once a week and offers a free meal.  This support group discusses many topics and offers services to include emergency food pantry program, utilities assistance, rent assistance, school supplies and clothing for children and themselves, and educational classes.  Our goal is to help stop recidivism and help these women become productive members of society.  in 2010, this program served 765 women and 175 participated in some form after their release.
