ChainBreakers, Inc.

ChainBreakers, Inc. was founded by concerned residents and church leaders, who saw a need in the city for resources that would help low-income families become more self sufficient and to better their quality of life. Additionally, we believe that the crime and drug abuse rates in our community, which are higher than the national average, can be lowered through the provision of these resources. It is our belief that an increased sense of "community" and "ownership" among Portsmouth's residents will help curtail the amount of crime and drug activity in the area. ChainBreakers understands that personal empowerment, positive influence, and adequate resources are essential to a community’s growth and revitalization.
