Dear Friend,

Human Trafficking Awareness MonthDear Friend,I am so grateful for YOU. You are helping us change lives. Through your prayers, generosity, and love we can continue to do God’s great work. January is National Human Trafficking Awareness and Prevention Month, an important time to spread awareness and take ACTION. For the past few years, the Pathfinder Center has been leading the charge in helping women that have been affected by this horrific crime. But we need to prevent this crime before it happens. That means fighting human trafficking is not only the job of law enforcement but also the work of ALL of us.

We’d like to take this opportunity to invite you to a unique event that the Pathfinder Center is hosting on Wednesday, January 26th in Pierre, SD, called 'Drive Out Human Trafficking.' Trafficking survivors need your help more than ever and together we can help our community and the rest of the nation as we equip each other with the right tools. The event will be held at the St. Charles Lounge and Capitol Golf Club. We'll have appetizers and provide crucial information on ending human trafficking in our community. If you love golf, you’ll definitely want to have some fun by testing out your golf swing in the golf simulator. $10 donation gives you three swings to get closest to the pin. The winner will receive a prize! The best part, all donations will go to the needs of the survivors at the Pathfinder Center.

I am looking forward to seeing you all in Pierre on January 26th but we both know that human trafficking is not an issue just during January. Approximately 130 people are trafficked worldwide every hour. Most of these are children. Commit to helping us protect these victims from their traffickers by supporting our programs all year long as a monthly donor.

When a victim enters the Pathfinder Center you can be certain that:

• They will receive the help they urgently need, healing, and justice.
• Our services really do work. Progress is being made. Lives are being transformed.
• They will become part of a healthy, safe community.

In order to continue to provide these services and programs, we are asking for your help. A monthly gift allows you to make an impact across the entire year! This is an effective way to get involved and STAY involved. And it’s as simple as checking the box that says make this a monthly donation. I look forward to sharing with you all the great things that your gifts are accomplishing in 2022.

God bless you and your family.

Lisa Heth

Executive Director, Pathfinder Center
