This is an important topic that we see in our work. Please consider attending a training with The Lampstand on human trafficking and how it effects our community.

Want to learn more about how human trafficking affects our community? Or see how it can realistically show up in our local schools, homes, and everyday lives?

Join us for our FREE Trafficking 360 Training to gain insight into what human trafficking really looks like in our community and learn how you can recognize the signs.

You never know when the knowledge you gain could help you recognize a sign, start a conversation, or make a difference in someone’s life. Come learn with us and be part of the solution.

📅 Thursday, August 20th
🕐 1:00–3:00 PM
📍 Straight Street Ministries

We hope to see you there!

Did you know that each person that enters our shelter receives a new or gently used set of twin sheets, a blanket and a pillow? Many of our guests do come into shelter with few items. We want to make sure that they have everything they need! If you can provide even 1 item for our shelter, it would be greatly appreciated!
