Before the Transition, Inc. (BTT) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering children, women, and men through mentoring, awareness, educational workshops, and essential support services. Before COVID, we provided new and gently used clothing to individuals and families with limited financial resources, helping them prepare for school, work, and everyday life with dignity and confidence.
