30 years ago, the founder of The Doe Fund, George McDonald, was handing out sandwiches to the homeless in Grand Central Terminal. Speaking with them, he found that a great many were men who had been in prison, and were released with no jobs, no homes and no prospects. The Doe Fund provides them with all three. New Yorkers are most familiar with their “Ready, Willing and Able” program, the men in the blue boiler suits helping to keep the streets clean. But that’s only the start of the program. From there the men go on to educational programs that will help them build futures. Alexander Horowitz talks about the growth of the organization, which now serves 2,000 men per year (it is men’s only, because it is residential) and how much more they want to do. Terrance Coffie is one of the men whose life was turned around by The Doe Fund after spending 19 years in and out of prison. He tells us his own story, and talks about why he decided the best thing he could do was give back by helping other former inmates.
