Igniting Hope: Your Gift Changes Everything

I appreciate your interest in our cause. The video you just watched and the information you're about to read work together to provide a comprehensive view of our vision.

Imagine the spark—the moment a child can see their mom or dad's face on a video call because of your generosity. This is the heartbeat of CA Jail Outreach. Your donation is more than a gift; it's an investment in a new beginning, fueling a cycle of hope and growth that changes lives from the inside out.

The Power of Your Partnership

Your support directly funds the programs that are making a real, measurable difference. Every donation—no matter the size—is how we turn compassion into action.

The B.E.A.R. Program: Through this program, we send personalized teddy bears to young children who need comfort and support. Each bear has the child's name and plays "Jesus' Love Me" and three goodnight prayers when you touch its hand. It's a special way to show children that we are here for them and praying for them.
Family Connections: Your gift can help us purchase a tablet or Chromebook for a child, enabling them to stay connected with a parent within the jail system. It also helps us add funds to the jail's communication platforms, allowing a loved one to send emails and participate in video chats. You also help support foster families navigating tough times when a child has both parents in jail through no fault of their own.
Immediate Food Assistance: There are times when individuals leaving the jail system have let their EBT cards lapse. We help these individuals through the online application process for a new card. While they wait, we utilize services like Instacart and DoorDash to deliver groceries, ensuring they have a sufficient food supply for the first few days.
Camp Growth: Help us fund our day camps and week-long camping trips, providing a safe and nurturing environment for children with parents who are incarcerated.

Educational Resources: Your support powers the production of our podcasts, Growth Journey, and Bible Bites, as well as our upcoming Growth Journey e-books. These resources provide valuable tools for character and spiritual growth for anyone who needs them.

Our Vision for the Future

At CA Jail Outreach, we believe in the profound power of a second chance for every individual. The 1-4-4 Growth Journey Roadmap guides our work, our comprehensive approach to transformation. It's a simple yet robust structure: one organization working to help four categories of people—men, women, families, children, and veterans—all of whom may be impacted by the justice system. We achieve this through four powerful programs.

Now, we are working toward two ambitious long-term goals:

Free Camp Growth 2026: Our goal is to provide a free camp experience for every child who wants to attend, ensuring that no child is left behind due to financial hardship.
Jail System Integration: We want to provide all our video, audio, and e-book materials directly to inmates. By integrating our content into the jail system's third-party app, we can help individuals within the jail system develop a strong character, deepen their spirituality, and foster a stronger connection with themselves and their families. This transformative project requires an annual investment of $100,000 to gain access to the system.
