Safe House Ministry - Eight Days of Hope

We Love and Serve Survivors of Human Trafficking

We help build and renovate homes where survivors can be free to safely start new lives.
Our skilled volunteers offer services such as framing, drywall installation, plumbing, roofing, and so much more.
We offer our services for 14 days to help build safe houses that offer restoration and healing to the broken-hearted.
To date, we have partnered with 13 organizations in 8 states! We have built 6 long-term restorative homes and 7 counseling and care spaces!

What Can You Do?

The most important way to counteract human trafficking is to raise awareness for those being targeted and to know how traffickers engage with those at risk. We encourage you to begin the journey of educating yourself and those around you by checking out our new Human Trafficking guide or subscribing to our quarterly newsletter.
