REST SUMMARY

REST exists to provide pathways to freedom, safety, and hope for victims of sex trafficking and people involved in the sex trade. REST offers programs that are centered on the strengths, needs and individual choices of each survivor we serve. In fiscal 2019 REST connected with 785 individuals through our holistic continuum of services. In all of our programs, we work with survivors to increase their safety and move toward healing, stability and economic self- sufficiency. REST believes that everyone deserves to be loved and everyone deserves a life without exploitation. We are motivated and inspired by our faith as a Christian organization and dedicated to serving people of all faiths and backgrounds.

Volunteer: Help meet basic needs!

In this crisis, the already vulnerable individuals and families whom we serve are facing extreme hardship and difficult survival decisions.  REST is responding with safe spaces for survivors to rest, food and basic necessities, and rental assistance.  But the need is well beyond our budget!  

Many of our clients, who have successfully gotten out of the sex trade, are now losing the jobs they fought so hard to get.  They need your support with food and rent assistance.  We know that times are challenging for all.  We know that many people who want to give may not be able to right now- and that is ok.  

But if you can give right now, please do.  Grocery cards and Orca cards are any easy way to make sure that our clients have access to food and expand the area in which they can work.  Help us offer hope to victims of sexual exploitation.  Your support can make a world of difference in someone's life, and possibly keep them from being homeless once again at the end of all of this.  Email me at lisa@iwantrest.com if I can answer any questions for you!  Thank you!!
