Willowbend Farms awarded grant from Dept. of Justice

Profit that works to combat human trafficking has been awarded a grant from the department of justice.

Willowbend farms has been awarded over 7 hundred thousand dollars to continue to fight against sex trafficking in our area.

The organization is planning to build a human trafficking emergency response center, the first of its kind in our area.

Take sot "this is going to allow us to have a more responsive behavior towards helping someone instead of a reactive behavior where we need to contact someone to see if a domestic violence shelter has something open.

This takes us completely out of reactive mode, allows us to respond so we will be able to take someone to a secure location immediately."

If you suspect human trafficking report it to the police immediately.

If you see something say something.
