WHY LEGACY ?
Legacy Reentry Foundation NFP was established as a non-profit faith based mission by Pastor George & ReGina Moore. After more than a decade of practicing outreach and assisting returning citizens reintegrate back society, Legacy was born and the mission of reentry truly began.
Through George's personal experience with incarceration and the post-incarceration obstacles that he faced, the goal then became his signature phrase, "I'm going back to get me!"
​
In essence, Legacy was formed based on the personal challenges that George & ReGina encountered and their desire to prevent others from having to do the same. In following suit, 100% of Legacy's current staff are individuals who have been impacted directly or indirectly by the Legacy Justice System. Together, they work daily to expose their clients to God's inheritance for them through relevant resources such as life skills, job prep, financial literacy, traumatic care, youth development, faith-based teaching and so much more. These skills along with the consistent support of our staff further equips people to be the resource for others that they once needed for themselves - hence the name "Legacy".
