New Creation

Years ago, our Executive Director, William Harrison, had a vision to help men who were recently released and give them a place of hope. As a former returning citizen himself, he understood the difficulties a man faces when he is released from prison and how challenging it can be to re-enter society.

Second Chance

Second Chance is a movement built on the belief that a person's past should not define their future. It promotes the idea that individuals who have paid their debt to society deserve a fair opportunity to rebuild their lives, reconnect with their families, and become productive members of their communities.

Through community outreach, legal advocacy, educational initiatives, employment opportunities, and public awareness campaigns, Second Chance works to remove barriers that often prevent returning citizens from achieving long-term success. By fostering collaboration among nonprofit organizations, faith communities, businesses, and government agencies, the movement helps create pathways toward restoration and lasting change.

Events such as Second Chance Day at the Courts provide legal assistance, valuable resources, and community support for individuals navigating the challenges of reentry. These efforts demonstrate the importance of extending hope, restoring dignity, and creating meaningful opportunities for those seeking a fresh start.

Bridge Community Development Corporation supports the principles of the Second Chance movement by partnering with organizations that are committed to restoration, accountability, and empowering individuals to build brighter futures.

Alabaster House Recovery for Women

Alabaster House Recovery for Women is a Christ-centered residential recovery ministry located in Easley, South Carolina. Through a structured seven-month program rooted in biblical principles and the Twelve Steps, the ministry helps women break free from addiction, restore their relationship with God, and rebuild their lives with purpose and hope.

The program provides a safe and supportive home where women can focus on healing physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. During the first six weeks, residents are fully immersed in biblical recovery classes, discipleship, and the Twelve Step program before transitioning into additional life-skills training and personal development. This intentional foundation prepares each woman for lasting recovery and a successful return to her family and community.

Founded by Jennifer Magaha, a recovering heroin addict and survivor of human trafficking, Alabaster House is built on the belief that no woman is beyond redemption. Her personal testimony inspires the ministry's mission to offer every resident a path out of addiction, a path back into society, and an opportunity to create lasting generational change through faith in Jesus Christ.

Bridge Community Development Corporation is honored to recognize Alabaster House Recovery for Women as a community partner whose work reflects our shared commitment to restoration, healing, and helping individuals build productive, hope-filled lives. Together, ministries like Alabaster House demonstrate that lasting transformation is possible when faith, accountability, and compassionate support come together.
