The Leon County Sheriff’s Office has launched a clothing drive for those returning to the community after serving time behind bars.

The initiative is called Reentry Ready: Clothing the Comeback. It’s a partnership with Goodwill Industries. The first community drop off event happens on Monday outside the sheriff’s office.

Announcement on Facebook:

The Leon County Sheriff’s Office is proud to launch Reentry Ready: Clothing the Comeback, a community clothing and accessory drive supporting individuals returning home after incarceration.

Through a partnership with Goodwill Industries, donated items are converted into vouchers that help provide interview attire, workwear, and everyday clothing—preserving dignity, choice, and confidence during the reentry process.

Join us for the first community drop-off event on Monday, February 16, from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. at the LCSO outdoor greenspace, located at 2825 Major James Morgan, Jr. Way. Together, we’re turning generosity into opportunity.
