Provides a safe environment to build trust with women that are sexually exploited. We believe that through offering a meal, a place to shower and non judgmental care we will be able to build the trust needed to offer an alternative lifestyle and crisis intervention if and when they choose to get out of their current situation. By partnering with local community resources and local bodies of believers we are able to provide various levels of exit plans and resources.

Our Drop In centers model the response of Jesus to the most vulnerable people in our communities.
