Last month, Spencerville Church hosted a seminar on human trafficking led by our own Amanda Rodriguez. Amanda is the Executive Director of Turn Around, Inc., which provides counseling, support, and advocacy for victims of human trafficking, domestic violence, and more.
Turn Around, Inc. is opening a home for trafficked children in the greater Baltimore area in late March. The home will serve eight children at a time and house the staff needed for counseling and supervision. Amanda has provided a list of the things required to make this home a warm and welcoming place for these children who have already endured so much.
Please prayerfully consider making a donation (list of items below) to this worthy cause.
