The Power of One
At Alcatraz East, we support charities that work to prevent crime and to help victims and their families to recover physically and mentally from the detrimental situations they have experienced. Any donation, big or small, will make a difference and have the potential to significantly improve the life of someone who has experienced a tragedy. Below you can read about how each charity works to repair, and in some cases save, the lives of those affected by acts of crime. Follow the links to donate or find out more ways you can help.
