What it reported doing in 2023

Our organization provides numerous services to those in our community who have been victims of abuse and sex trafficking. We feed houseless relatives every Thursday in our community. During the current year 1,664 houseless individuals were provided meals. We also provide transportation to get victims to safety, primarily within the state of South Dakota. For any sex trafficked victims our volunteers drive them to their destination because it is not safe to put them on a bus. Other services provided include assistance in child custody situations, assistance with personal items, outreach and community education, crisis counseling, and other types of advocacies. Overall, during 2023, 1,185 individuals were provided with outreach and support. Other services and goods are provided on an as needed basis.
