OUR STORY

"I'm going back to get me!"

Legacy Reentry Foundation NFP was founded by George Moore, Jr. and ReGina Moore, a husband-and-wife team with a deep commitment to helping justice-impacted individuals rebuild their lives.

 

As certified NAMI Sharing Hope and FaithNet Facilitators, George and ReGina bring a unique blend of mental health advocacy, faith-based support, and lived experience to every aspect of Legacy’s mission.

Born from George’s own journey through incarceration and the barriers that followed, Legacy stands on the powerful declaration:

"I'm going back to get me!"

This isn’t just a slogan—it’s a promise to help others reclaim their identity, dignity, and purpose.

Together, George and ReGina transformed their personal challenges into a movement for change. Today, 100% of Legacy’s team members have been directly or indirectly impacted by the justice system, creating a deeply empathetic, peer-driven foundation of support.

Legacy provides practical tools for reintegration, including:

  • Life skills and job readiness training

  • Trauma-informed care and emotional resilience programs

  • Youth mentorship and development

  • Financial literacy and reentry planning

Through every service and conversation, we empower individuals not just to recover—but to become the resource they once needed. That’s the heart of Legacy.
