We are helping IRC put together “Go-Bags.” The go bags are specifically for survivors of human trafficking. The human trafficking and refugee communities experience cross-over, and IRC is partnering with the Lighthouse Project for this initiative. Our contributions will provide IRC with a supply of bags that they can hand off to someone ‘on the go,’ someone escaping trafficking. A survivor leaving trafficking is unlikely to have anything more than the clothes on their back.
Each bag has items that help get them started in a new life. A donation was made to cover the cost of 50 duffle bags, and now we get to help fill them. There are a few ways to contribute:
- Go here Flocknote and sign up. You sign up for what you want to donate, and you are emailed a link that tells you how/where to purchase the items. The sign up allows us to keep track of donations.
- After you sign up you can go here to order: Amazon
- Call the church office and have Teresa help you with the online sign up process.
- Make a donation to Grace, marked for IRC Yellow Bags.
