WHO WE ARE
Redeem and Restore Center is a public benefit 501c3 nonprofit charity founded in September 2013. We recognize that we can provide needed awareness education, outreach, services, and care for the victims of sex trafficking by building great community partnerships and collaboration with existing organizations throughout the state.
We are committed to success in each aspect of our mission to those entrapped in the ‘no life’ of trafficking and exploitation. Our volunteers and staff will love unconditionally, help restore brokenness to wholeness, provide ongoing support, and giving empowerment through each step of their journey.
The responsibility that is needed in caring for these women will take a strong foundation of integrity with each person directly involved with them. It will always take teamwork of vetted staff and volunteers to be consistent and reliable. We will provide structure, safety, and quality in each program, but respecting their individuality.
We are a christian based organization and we will serve each person without requiring them to embrace our beliefs. We will demonstrate the love of Jesus in practical ways: providing a safe home, food, clothing, access to medical care, counseling, educational opportunities, and vocational training.
1 John 3:18 says “Dear children let us not love with words or tongue, but with action and in truth.”
God is at the center of all we do. Because of what we believe…
We desire and are prepared to serve others before ourselves in love with authenticity, humility and a sacrificial attitude.
OUR MISSION
Together we love, restore and support women escaping from domestic sex trafficking and exploitation. We help women discover hope and a bright future- to truly be human again!
OUR VISION
To promote awareness that leads to prevention, intervention, and restoration for women that have been exploited. We are continually sharing our vision for the need of the safe housing and services for foundational restoration of survivors- redeeming and restoring lives and ushering in a cultural transformation.
As we educate on the destructive truth of domestic sex trafficking, we’re addressing cultural norms that add to the problem, sharing tools for prevention of others becoming enslaved, equipping and leading others for outreach intervention, providing hope and a future by restoring value to survivors through safe housing and services needed. With our love and support, we’re are igniting hope for those who have been enslaved and giving to the community through what we can do! Redeem and Restore Center helps more women are able to overcome the enslavement they’ve been placed into and live out their days in true freedom.
