24/7 ministries is a restorative work services program serving Kootenai county and the surrounding area. We work with ex-offenders, providing them with housing, discipleship, and faith-based interaction to facilitate their re-entry into employment and life post-conviction. We usually have around 30 clients living in three separate houses, 6 full-time staff, and a growing network of volunteers and donors. This site includes picture galleries of recent events, downloadable documents for both clients and volunteers, forums for further discussion, and financial and donation information. Take a look around, or contact us with further questions. Welcome!
