Here is a very practical way for you to help victims of human trafficking in our own city.
All Things New is a safe house for women rescued from human trafficking that is opening in Oklahoma City. To support this effort, if you or any group you participate in would like to take on sponsoring a room, we need your help to meet the deadline. The house needs to be set up to welcome women by March, 2010. There are 9 bedrooms and 2 kitchens that need to be furnished, and we are asking for nothing but NEW items. This will be the first time in many years the women have had anything of their own, and we want to give them a sense of pride and dignity right form the start!
Listed below are the items we need for each room. Our Creative World Justice OKC group will be working to adopt at least ONE entire room’s worth of supplies and furnishings. We will gather and store these items until Feb 20 when we will deliver to the Spero Project Resource Center at 4646 N Santa Fe, OKC, 73118 between 9:30-11:00am. The location of the house must remain confidential. So, certified All Things New volunteers will deliver from Spero to the safe house. ** Note that any items donated through the Spero Project are tax deductible and receipts will be given when the items are delivered if you request.
I need to give our friends at Spero & All Things New a count on how many bedrooms we would like to take on as a CWJ-OKC group. So, please complete the Google Form, below, to signup. If the form is confusing or you have questions, call me (Gary Caplinger – 405.694.8562).
