Serving the Victims
St. Ann’s FACTS Ministry has partnered with Wellspring Living, an organization that provides trauma-informed care to survivors of domestic minor sex trafficking. FACTS volunteers serve the girls’ residential program, which securely houses girls age 12-17 with a focus on trauma therapy, education, life skills, and confidence.
Volunteers serve in a variety of ways, including:
- Mentorships
- Service projects/fundraising/donations/drives
- Dinners/games/events – engaging with the healing victims
- Lunches and encouragement
