SOAP Volunteers Needed 
We are looking for people to volunteers for the "Save Our Adolescent from Prostitution (SOAP)" outreach/awareness project. SOAP is an Outreach that aims to distribute thousands of bars of soap with the National Human Trafficking Hotline number and key identifying questions FREE to local motels.


Volunteers talk to motel owners and managers and provide them with a quick overview of what is happening to young girls in their hotels along with offering free soap to distribute.

Currently, volunteers are needed to help label and package bars of soap for motels. 


Additionally, we need donations to help buy the cases of soap needed to reach the girls victimized by modern day slavery. Read more about it at www.traffickfree.com
