Mission, Vision, Values
Let's Dig into why Peggy's Hands is a wonderful place to be.
Mission
Vision
Our mission is to continue rehabilitation efforts for citizens returning to our communities from incarceration through housing, job security, transportation, and access to a variety of community resources. We are dedicated to helping decrease the recidivism rate in our communities, by providing key components that returning citizens need to start a new successful life. Through our efforts and community partnerships, these individuals will receive many benefits to create healthy and happy futures.
Our vision is to decrease recidivism rates and provide meaningful opportunities for returning citizens after incarceration . We envision a world where we no longer judge individuals based on their past, but provide opportunities to be valuable parts of our society. Through our efforts, we aim to operate transitional homes throughout the state of South Carolina. Each home will provide rehabilitation services, job opportunities, transportation, and other services over the course of a year. We here at Peggy’s Hands believe in change and we will grow and harvest these positive changes.
Core Values
Everyone in our organization- leaders, staff, volunteers, and community members share like-minded values, ambitions, and aspirations for change for a collective better tomorrow.
We root ourselves in shared humanity and treat each other with kindness and compassion. We are at our best when we honor the equal dignity and worth of all people, even in the face of conflict.
We foster a safe space that enhances the social, emotional, and physical well being of returning citizens and their families. While also making our community a safer place to live.
We believe everyone deserves the opportunity to live their full potential, and that our communities and families are stronger when they are full of opportunities for people with diverse identities, backgrounds, abilities, and perspectives.
