January is Human Trafficking Awareness Month. While it can feel like human trafficking does not occur in our communities, whether they are big cities or rural areas, trafficked individuals can be found working in many industries. 🧵

Last week’s Halloween themed health fair at @BridgeOTW was a great success! The youth were connected to STI testing, flu/covid vaccines, gender care, women’s health resources & more. Many thanks to our incredible volunteers who brought the extra spark to this well-attended event.
