Happy National Read a Book Day!

At Peaceprints, books do more than tell stories. They help families stay connected.

Each year through our Holiday Book Reading Program, incarcerated parents choose a book, record themselves reading it aloud, and send the recording and book home as a special gift to their child.

For more than 100 children annually, these recordings provide comfort, connection, and a reminder that even when separated by distance, a parent's love can still be heard.

Because every child deserves a bedtime story.

On this International Day of Charity, we celebrate the power of second chances, compassion, and community. Through the work of Peaceprints of WNY, individuals impacted by incarceration are finding pathways to stability, hope, and success. Together, we can help create stronger futures and a more just community for all.

The summer can't end without a beach day! ☀️🌊

Before backpacks, bus stops, and the start of a new school year, Empower Youth spent a beautiful day at Woodlawn Beach soaking up the summer sunshine and enjoying each other’s company as they swam, picnicked, tossed a football, and played card games. These are the moments summer is made of — laughter, friendship, and memories to carry into the school year ahead.

What does it really mean to lose time?

Today, reRight the Record launches The Cost of Time, a new miniseries exploring what happens to our relationships during incarceration — the time missed, the bonds changed, and the connections that can be broken, rebuilt, or even strengthened along the way.

Across the series, we’ll talk about relationships between parents and children, romantic partners, family, friends, and chosen family, and the many ways incarceration reshapes the people on both sides of the walls.

Our first episode, Time Lost, begins with Henry.

Henry joins us for an open conversation about addiction, trauma, incarceration, and what those battles ultimately cost him and how he fought hard to win back what he lost.

✨ Building a Brave Space, Together ✨

Our Empower Youth participants are helping shape more than just a new room. They're helping create a community.

A brave space isn't about being perfect. It's about showing up, respecting one another, sharing our voices, and growing side by side. It's a place where everyone belongs, where experiences are valued, and where young people have the opportunity to lead.

As our youth continue to invest their creativity, energy, and ideas into this new space, they're reminding us that the strongest communities aren't built for young people... they're built with them. 💙

Our hearts are full and our sock bins are FULLER thanks to an incredible donation from Bombas!

Their generosity is helping bring comfort, warmth, and dignity to so many people in our community. We'd say we're grateful from head to toe... but today it's all about the toes. 😉

Thank you, Bombas, for helping us make every step count!

Another Wheels for Workers win, and this one moved fast.

In this video, Adam shares that his new bike will help him get to work and make it to appointments. For Adam, that is not a small thing. His 1.5 hour commute on public transit just became a 20-minute ride.

And in true “this bike was exactly what he needed” fashion, Adam used it within 20 minutes of receiving it to get to court.

His case manager said it best: “He’s been working really hard, holding steady, and rolling with some punches. I’m really happy the bike found its way to him. He needed something good to happen.”

Bikes are transportation, but they are also independence, reliability, and one more tool to help someone keep moving forward.

Thank you to Wheels for Workers 716 for continuing to help our clients get where they need to go as they work hard and achieve their employment and personal goals!
