The Open Door is a community-based collection of volunteers dedicated to providing service, support, and a helping hand to currently released inmates.
We also provide referral resource services in a friendly, non-threatening environment.
The Open Door meets people at perhaps their greatest time of need. We understand that our ability to connect with people is entirely based on the volunteer efforts of all involved.
Those in need include people coming out of incarceration both from the Marathon County jail and from the state prison system.
The mission statement of the Open Door of Marathon County: "The Open Door is organized to provide charitable and educational services to meet the immediate and long term needs of individuals who are homeless and /or who have been released from prison". The Open Door takes pride in partnering with other service providers in our community.
