Transport Enterprise Leasing (TEL) recently donated $6,000 to Prison Prevention Ministries programs that are helping turn around the lives of inmates and youth, Jeff Berger, chief information officer of TEL, said in a news release. The company gave an initial $3,000 contribution, followed by another $3,000 gift, according to a news release.
"We've seen the positive impact that Prison Prevention Ministries is having on prisoners and their families, as well as at-risk youth and our community," Berger noted.
"Their faith-based programs are changing hearts and minds and are providing practical support to help people become productive citizens," he said in the release.
The mission of Prison Prevention Ministries is simple, yet profound: to prevent inmates from returning to prison and youth from going to prison by encouraging them to develop a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
"If it weren't for folks like Transport Enterprise Leasing, we would not be able to do the ministries we do," Joe Smith, executive director of the charity, said in the news release. "We are so appreciative for the support of the good folks at TEL."
