Portraits of Chopping for Change
The Chopping for Change (C4C) program is a partnership between Lutheran Metropolitan Ministry (LMM), the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction (ODRC) and the Cuyahoga County Office of Reentry to provide pre-release workforce development training and behavioral health services for women in the criminal justice system.
Women incarcerated at the North East Reintegration Center (NERC) in Cleveland, Ohio, come to LMM five days a week and engage in a comprehensive program which includes counseling, support services and culinary arts training.
