Our Founder, Mrs. Carsee Herring

Mrs Carsee Herring was born in Georgia, but raised and educated in the city of Lockport. Mrs. Herring was married to her late husband Henry for 51 years. They had 5 children: Joyce, Henry Jr, Clayton, Renee and Terry. They have several grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and great-great-grandchildren (5 generations!).

While raising her children, one of her sons struggled with drug addiction. In her search to understand this addiction, she found others in the community that faced the same pain and suffering. She saw a need for a faith-based drug and alcohol support program. God put this on her heart and blessed her with a vision to start what is now called Lockport New Beginnings.
