charity of the month: UNBOUND NOW (BCS)
End Human Trafficking. Ignite Hope.
Unbound Now started around a kitchen table as ordinary people came together, overwhelmed by the crisis of human trafficking.
Coming face to face with exploitation as she traveled the world, Susan Peters had a nagging feeling that just wouldn’t let her go – no longer could she or more importantly, any of us, sit on the sidelines of this issue. There was simply too great a need. And so she gathered the men and women around her around a kitchen table as they strategized how they could start first in their backyard.
What started as knocking on the doors of McLennan County, Texas law enforcement has transformed into 12 locations in the U.S. and around the world, with world-class human trafficking prevention training, youth empowerment, and survivor advocacy programs.
Since 2012, Unbound Now survivor advocates have had the honor of serving over 2,100 survivors of human trafficking. Behind this number we celebrate, is over 2,100 stories of freedom from bondage, beauty from ashes, and hope for tomorrow.
