Wishing you a peaceful start to the season.

Our tree is up and our doors are open, and the Justice Center feels especially alive this time of year as neighbors stop in, volunteers gather for Reparative Panels and Circles, and community members navigating reentry or transitional housing find a steady place to land. The holidays can bring joy, stress, or a mix of both, and we do everything we can to make this space feel calm and supportive for anyone taking part in restorative work or rebuilding their lives. The lights on the tree add a little glow to the office, but it is the people who walk through our doors who bring real warmth to this place and remind us why this work matters. As we move into the season, we are grateful for everyone who helps create a community rooted in care, accountability, and belonging, and we hope the Justice Center continues to feel like a space of comfort and connection in the weeks ahead.
