We were honored to have a few members of our team attend the Sip & Paint event benefiting Homesafe, hosted by Chris Davis. It was a meaningful evening focused on creativity and connection.
Human trafficking is happening closer to home than many realize. Ohio ranks fifth in the nation for human trafficking incidents, with an estimated 450 victims statewide and one of the highest victim-to-population ratios in the country. Since its inception, the National Human Trafficking Hotline has identified 3,966 cases involving 7,333 victims in Ohio. These numbers remind us why continued awareness and advocacy are so critical and why supporting non-profits like Homesafe is so imperative.
Homesafe which is Ashtabula County’s only domestic violence and human trafficking shelter and service provider, They offers 24/7 support, advocacy, education, and empowerment for survivors while working to strengthen the overall community.  We are grateful for the leadership of Executive Director Julie Sundquist and the dedication of their team, including Human Trafficking Advocate Chelsea Moretti, whose work brings safety, hope, and healing to so many. 
There are so many ways to support this mission and the life changing work Homesafe provides from attending events, to volunteering, to spreading awareness and donating. When communities come together, real change happens.
Homesafe holds a very special place in my heart, and in the hearts of so many in our community. Thank you Homesafe, Inc. Ashtabula County's Domestic Violence Shelter for all that you do and for the tireless efforts you put into protecting, supporting, and empowering those in need.
