Resource Information Help for the Disadvantaged

Prisoner & Family Advocacy

 Transportation Service Campaign

Dear Friends,

In an effort to keep families connected and reduce recidivism, since 2002, Resource Information Help for the Disadvantaged (RIHD) has provided monthly transportation to low income families Virginia resident without transportation to visit incarcerated family members.  We have serviced hundreds  and continue to for  Virginians and out of state families. 

Some family members have not been able to visit their incarcerated loved one(s) for years until our RIHD transportation service became available.  Since, consistent and regular visitation, we have seen measurable and positive intervention, re-connection amongst the prisoner, their children, family and loved one,  increasing the likelihood of a more productive community reentry andlessening the rate of recidivism.

Due to declining private donations in the past three years,  we have struggled in our mission to provide continuous low-cost subsidized transportation to the families and their incarcerated loved one. 

Consider donating to RIHD Transportation Service that is consistent with the mission and interest for a safer Virginia.  Consider making a one time donation or a monthly sponsorship donation to assist with the continuous of the transportation service.  Donations of $25 or more are fully tax deductible to you per Internal Revenue Service 501(c) 3 Regulations.  Make check payable and mail to RIHD Transportation –
