brainchild of Deacon Rick and Linda Martin beginning in
March of 1996. The agency received its’ 501 C-3 not for

food, encouragement, weekly support groups, and medical
assistance to hundreds of clients and their families in the

issues the ex-offender faces trying to reintegrate into

Justice Committee of Illinois. RITAS Ministry is
currently spearheading the newly organized Restorative
Justice Institute of Illinois.
