The Wilson House
The Wilson House (circa 1910) is the only folk Victorian/Queen Anne house in Quincy's Pepper Hill, an African-American neighborhood. The Wilson House has been a home, boarding house, and hotel. In the 1960's civil rights leaders sought shelter there. County Commissioner Ed Dixon, who grew up next door to the Wilson House, will be on hand to share some history with us as Dean Mitchell signs his beautiful prints. Be a part of history and lend a helping hand to Redeemed, Inc. The Dean Mitchell prints to benefit the Wilson House signed prints by Dean available for only $25....
My own trials helped me to see and understand the plight of an addict and ex-offender. It was easy to see the tremendous lack of support for ex-offenders and the family members of the incarcerated. Lack of support often leads to recidivism which consequently create revolving doors in the jail and prisons. Children, when separated from their incarcerated parent, are faced with difficult choices that may lead them down the wrong path.
Redeemed was designed to: Provide services to help the ex-offender and family member of the incarcerated overcome the stigma of incarceration while targeting the areas that often cause relapse and recidivism. Help clients see the light at the end of the bridge which provides the pathway to LOVE and HOPE.
It is my prayer that all who decide to look further, are led by their heart to become a partner of this great mission.
We are in the process of preparing for this year Community Christmas Party for children of Gadsden County with parent(s) who are incarcerated. Over the past eight years we have provided two toys (one fun and one educational) and weather appropriate clothing for these children. For the last two years we have also provided a food basket for each family.
The question may arise; why or how so many children have parent(s) who are in jail or prison? The answer is painful but evidently true that there is a large number of people incarcerated in the local jails, state and federal prison system who are parents of children here in Gadsden county. We receive all the children from the Prison Fellowship Angel Tree list for Gadsden County. Please help with this effort to show these children that they are not responsible for the actions of their parents and most importantly, that they are loved. Help Redeemed and this community coordinated effort to show these children that they can make a difference and better choices.

Our goal is to raise $40,000 which will be utilized to fund our Wilson House project. The Wilson House, historically, is one of the oldest Black-owned homes in Quincy and is perched in the community once known as Pepper Hill. This house will serve as a transitional home for six to eight women for intervals of six months to a year. During their stay in the Wilson House, these women will receive counseling, training, and the necessary individualized support to combat issues which may contribute to recidivism.
