Ways to Give
For more than 10 years we’ve walked with over 100 survivors of sexual exploitation and trafficking in their healing journeys. Our vision is that any survivor, anywhere in the nation, would have access to qualified, compassionate care. We cannot do this without your support.
Please consider an investment in the Mission of the Institute for Shelter Care – together we can tackle the issue of sex trafficking across our Nation.
