Boaz & Ruth
By planting itself in the center of Highland Park, one of Richmond's most troubled areas, Boaz & Ruth
is tackling systemic issues of prisoner reentry, recidivism, community revitalization and cultural
isolation head-on. Anchored by a 7500 square foot used furniture store and training center, the young,
faith-based Boaz & Ruth organization provides:
- Prisoner Reentry through Job Training: Training released prisoners in the emotional and relational competencies, life attitudes and work skills they need to re-enter society as healthy, productive citizens.
- Community Revitalization through Social Entrepreneurial Businesses: Helping rebuild the business and commercial life of a troubled community with successful social entrepreneurial enterprise.
- Cross-Cultural Connection through Economic and Cultural Bridges: Bringing people together who have been long separated by mistrust and racial tension with innovative commercial enterprise and special events.
If you would like to volunteer, donate items for the store, or learn more about Boaz & Ruth, send an e-mail to martha@boazandruth.com or call 334-6608. Boaz & Ruth is located at 3030 Meadowbridge Road.
