Ribbon Cutting - Soteria at Work Wood Shop

Join us for the opening of our new work shop!

Soteria at Work is the social enterprise of Soteria CDC and uses woodworking to teach job skills. On July 13, 2022, our workshop burned, and we lost everything. This new workshop will give us the space and tools to start building furniture again, and we could not be more excited.

Reclaiming Freedom
Oct
27

Reclaiming Freedom

Freedom, what it means, what it costs, and how we fight for it is at the forefront of the issues we face every day as a society, within our communities, and as individuals. . Whether we're talking about abortion, gun laws, war in the Ukraine, or criminal justice - our fights for freedom are often misunderstood, often exploited, often ignored, often painted in a color we did not define. We are not interested in looking at these issues from political platforms. We are interested in discussing them as a community. As a people who have more in common than we realize, and who have the imagination, creativity, brilliance, and power to come together to empower change.

On Oct 27, Soteria is hosting a community event that will celebrate reclaiming freedom. We will auction art inspired by this theme along with pieces that the men in our social enterprise, Soteria at Work, built, and we will have a community conversation about what it means to reclaim our freedom in 2022.

Come out and celebrate with Soteria. Support our Reentry work.

Tickets are $40 and are on sale now!
