Street Ransom is a local ministry that’s mission is to empower the lives of those vulnerable to and affected by sex trafficking and exploitation through raising awareness of the issue and offering direct support to survivors.

The Lampstand safe home is opening this Fall, 2021 in the greater Roanoke Valley and will provide a safe space and comprehensive trauma-informed care for survivors ages 12-17. The Lampstand is Virigina’s only residential program specifically for survivors of sex trafficking and exploitation under the age of 18.

God has generously and abundantly given to us and our families; out of a grateful heart, could we as a congregation give thanks to God in a tangible way through meeting some of the urgent needs the safehome has?
