Annual Banquet:
The Empowered Voices, Strengthened Communities Annual Banquet is a signature fundraising and celebration event hosted by Just The Beginning, Inc. This inspiring afternoon brings together community leaders, advocates, partners, and supporters to uplift the voices of justice-impacted women and celebrate transformation, resilience, and collective impact.

The banquet highlights the power of healing, mentorship, and economic empowerment in breaking generational cycles. Funds raised directly support Just The Beginning’s trauma-informed diversion, reentry, and holistic empowerment programs serving formerly incarcerated women and their families.
What to Expect:
Silent Auction
A powerful keynote address from a Just The Beginning graduate and community leader
Testimonies of transformation and restored purpose

A shared vision for strengthening families and neighborhoods
Lunch, fellowship, and opportunities to invest in life-transforming work.

*Supporters of justice reform, health equity, and women’s empowerment
*Friends of Just The Beginning who believe in second chances and restored purpose
Why It Matters:
Every voice shared represents a life reclaimed. Every partnership strengthens the community. This banquet is more than an event—it is a call to action to walk alongside women as they heal, lead, and thrive.
Communities thrive when people are healthy, employed, supported, and hopeful. Cycle-breaking work strengthens public safety, economic stability, and social trust by addressing root causes—not just symptoms.
