Do any of your loved ones face vulnerabilities that traffickers often exploit? In this video, our CEO shares the personal experiences that inspired her to become part of the solution and the mission behind Refuge City.
▶ Watch: Why I Got Involved

Children in juvenile detention are very vulnerable to sex trafficking. You can help prevent it!
Your generosity helps vulnerable youth and young survivors discover their God-given worth and build a different future.
Boys and girls who have experienced sexual abuse, exploitation, or trafficking need more than rescue. They need hope, healing, and people willing to walk beside them until restoration is reality.
You can be part of that story.
At Refuge City, we provide a simple path toward hope and healing: PREVENT. RESTORE. OVERCOME.
PREVENT
Each week, Refuge City provides Bible lessons and therapeutic art to youth in two Dallas County Juvenile Department facilities—helping them discover their identity, worth, and hope for the future. Your generosity helps us reach vulnerable youth before exploitation takes hold.
RESTORE
For young people and families already affected by sexual abuse, exploitation, or trafficking, your support helps provide trauma-informed counseling, therapeutic art, caregiver support, family-style dinners, education, and discipleship.
OVERCOME
Healing is about more than surviving the past. It's about building a future. Through education, healthy relationships, family restoration, and the love of Jesus Christ, Overcomers are discovering that their trauma does not have to define their future.
