About Us

A Vision Born from Faith, Pain, and Purpose

U Turn by Faith for Women, Inc. was founded by Angela Walker, a woman of unshakable faith who turned her own trials into a testimony of triumph. After experiencing the challenges of abuse, homelessness, and starting life over, Angela made a promise to God — that once she found her way back, she would reach back to help others do the same.

That promise became U Turn by Faith for Women, a faith-based nonprofit dedicated to empowering women in crisis to rebuild their lives with dignity, faith, and hope.

Our Mission

To help women facing homelessness, domestic violence, addiction recovery, or life after incarceration make a full “U-turn” toward healing, stability, and success — through faith-centered programs that restore mind, body, and spirit. We believe no woman is too broken, too lost, or too far gone for God to redeem. Every setback can become a setup for a comeback.

Our Vision

To create a community where every woman is safe, seen, and supported — spiritually, emotionally, and economically. Through mentorship, housing, education, and empowerment, we guide women toward independence and purpose, one step at a time.

Our Philosophy

We meet women where they are — and walk beside them every step of the way.

At U Turn by Faith, we see these women not as ex-offenders, but as survivors, mothers, daughters, and leaders in the making.

With your help, we’re creating a future where women leaving incarceration find opportunity instead of obstacles.

💖 How You Can Help

Life After Lockup — where second chances turn into success stories.

From Angela’s Heart

“I started U Turn by Faith because I know what it feels like to have nowhere to turn.
But I also know what happens when you trust God and take the first step.
Every woman deserves that chance — to start over, to believe again, and to walk by faith, not by fear.”

— Angela Walker, Founder & Executive Director
