A RIDE FOR THE VULNERABLE
Commercial sex trafficking isn’t something that happens in other towns and neighborhoods. It happens in our towns and neighborhoods. And 70% of the victims are women and children. Traffickers prey on the vulnerable and lonely, using any means they can to trap victims, causing feelings of fear and helplessness.
Christians are called to help the abused and vulnerable. That’s why Christ Community Church and Community Impact are supporting Naomi’s House through our third annual Ride for Hope fundraiser on June 8, 2024, open to families and cyclists of all ages and experience levels.
Our goal of $125,000 will fund Naomi's House's Reset program in the Fox Valley Region for an entire year.
ABOUT NAOMI'S HOUSE
Since 2020, Naomi's House has been laying the foundation for a Reset location in Elgin by connecting with the community, local police, and probation departments and doing outreach. Outreach enables Naomi's House to connect with people who are being trafficked for sex right now, build trust, increase safety, and connect them to the resources they need. Naomi's House is excited to share that the 12-month future of NH includes a second Reset Program in Kane County, followed by a second Rise Day Program.
