Resource Information
OVER 10 YEARS EXPERIENCE AS A REENTRY SERVICE CENTER
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 Open Door takes pride in partnering with other service providers in our community.
At our office, we believe that our guests deserve the highest quality personalized, comprehensive care in a comfortable and stress-free environment.

Success Stories
“As I came out of jail, I was scared and did not know what to do. I went to Open Door and they helped me with basic needs such as clothing and hygiene. Then they started showing me the resources in town and now I know that I will make it.”
Katherine
“Upon my release, I had a hard time finding my feet. Open Door gave me the time and resources to get my life back in order. They supported me when I got my feet under me again.”
