What does it take to truly welcome someone home after incarceration?

For more than three decades, Dismas House in Worcester, Massachusetts has been answering that question with faith, community, and compassion.

This conversation with co-executive director Dave McMahon explores how Dismas House creates a supportive community that helps formally incarcerated people transition back into society through a unique residential farm program, shared meals, mentorship, and a renewed sense of belonging.

We dive into the heart of their work: how the Dismas Family Farm and other services shape their mission and how volunteers and neighbors create a supportive community that helps those navigating the challenges of reentry.

Along the way, you’ll hear stories of transformation that remind us that simple acts—like sharing a meal together—can restore dignity and rebuild lives.

Tune in and discover how faith, food, and family come together at Dismas House to change lives—one second chance at a time.
